[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]that's not middle of the road

[/quote] So what is it? But more importantly, where did such a student go to school? (Not OP. I just have one of these coming up and need to reset from the kid who had a terrible time with a 4.3/1430 and great ECs)[/quote]

A kid with 1300 will do well in the 70-100 range.  My kid with a 1240/3.5UW/no AP got into every school they applied to including 3 in the 70-100 range, all with great merit (35% of tuition at each).  At the 120/130 range, they got 70% of tuition.  It's actually a bit easier at that level, because if you let the kids do their thing, they are not aiming for reaches that are "out of reach" like a 1500 kid is.  They are more realistic about where they will be best fit.  My kid was at/above 50% everywhere they applied, and they got in everywhere.  They knew they didn't belong at a school with 20% acceptance rates and would be miserable there.

Note: my kid graduated in 4 years with a 3.4+ gpa (gpa "tanked" by premed major freshman year, once they switched to finance they had a 3.6+) got a great job starting immediately at well known company and excelling at their job   Success all around, and so much less stress
