[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like Chicago would be the highest status place that would like your DC's profile. Why is he hesitant? That info could help us suggest other options.

I'd think for this student a massive state flagship might be interesting.

Depending on the awards, maybe Brown or a SLAC.[/quote]

Brown is not going to be excited about an applicant who is middle of the class in terms of GPA.  SATs are good, but tons of other kids have that.[/quote]

Yes, but if applicant is a boy and has big / important awards, Brown might work.[/quote]

Brown deferred the top5 in the class boy who applied as a humanities major from our T20 private this year and only admitted him RD.  Yes he was eventually admitted but they didn't jump for him REA (and therefore took the chance at losing him to other schools).

Brown is not a given by any means. [/quote]

Actually I should re-phrase this.  Brown is a no-way in hell for a middle of the pack kid.  There really is no other top20 that wants middle-of-the-pack kids from a top private. [/quote]
