[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know his unweighted GPA? That's the one most colleges will look at.

Also, do you know if he's generally taken the most challenging courses at his school? Colleges are big on this, too.

Does he have any "hooks," like first generation going to college or minority? Are his athletic skills good enough to get him recruited? Any of these can help.

I'll put in a third recommendation for spending a day visiting area colleges to see where he feels comfortable. Then go to one (or several) of the online college tools. I think the College Board (the SAT people) have one that he can use if he's already registered for the SATs. They're mostly free, and like a PP said, some college names kept popping up as good fits.[/quote]

I dont know his unweighted GPA, but he's taking 5 APs if that helps.  Also, APs are challenging. 
His athletiv skills are good but not enough to be recruited
no hooks

His mom is beside herself because he refuses to apply to schools that are not considered MOST selective...she keeps telling him he won't get into those schools.  They are visiting schools over break.  [/quote]
