[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a good solid student cracked just over 2000 on his SAT (2060) but was hoping to be in the 2100-2200 mark. Has a 31 on the ACT. He will take it again but this seems to be his range. He had his heart set on a particular ivy but both his adviser and he do not see it happening. He has talked to him at length about the little Ivies (adviser at school is originally from NY) so he is very familiar with those schools. We are not as familiar with them however, but he said they are prestigious carry a lot of weight after graduation and are going to give him that quintessential New England college experience he is seeking. Some schools he has suggested are Williams, Wesleyan, CT. College, Amherst, Hamilton and Bowdoin. What do you think? Certainly they do not have the cache of an ivy but would you say are more prestigious than a good top university? As an example UNC, Wake Forest, etc.....he is confused and so are we! Any input would be great, thank you.[/quote]

I agree with everyone that all you are doing is looking at prestige which is a terrible way to pick a school.  You lists schools that have very little in common. I would add that these schools will be difficult for him to get into with his stats.

You are confused because you are going at ti all wrong.[/quote]
