[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a good student (A- unweighted at a decent but not "top tier" private school outside DMV), strong standard ECs (varsity sport/club leadership, community service), strong SAT (1510).
Major: Undecided social sciences

Has anyone had a DC attend or have experiences at these colleges that you'd be willing to share?
University of Denver
UW Seattle
McGill
UC Davis or UC Santa Cruz
Santa Clara
U Wisconsin Madison

Finally, would these reaches (USC, BU, tufts, NYU, UCSB, Michigan) be too high of a reach for this profile student? He's interested in applying but I'm afraid they're too reachy.

A friend's DS graduated from UW last year.  Loved it.  C/S major, has a great job.  My godson attends Santa Clara, pre-med.  His GPA at a magnet public tanked during COVID,  1500+ SAT, has recovered in college, back on track.  Had a few friends with kids that attended U of Denver but they didn't have the stats of your child and I'm guessing your son can matriculate at a higher ranked school.[/quote]
