[quote=Anonymous]UVA is not a solid safety and Duke/Vanderbilt/Dartmouth/Wash U are most likely out of reach. (DC went to a "rigorous private school" in which A students were rejected from each of these schools.) These are very tough to schools to get into and these scores are not unusual for applicants. Plus when the scores are higher than corresponding grades, it looks like the applicant is an underachiever. Look at Naviance (though with a critical eye -- you can't tell which applicants have a hook and that can really skew things) but most of all rely on your college advisor who will be best placed to tell you how someone with your DS' from his school fares. Of course if he's a strong enough athlete to be recruited thats another thing but I don't get that from your post. And I agree that UVA is a reach.[/quote]
