[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS also has a 1490, more rigor (9 APs) but weak ECs.  The only highly ranked school he's applying to is UVA.  All the other top schools where technically his stats are a match...1) I'm sure he won't get in as your average high-stats white boy with mediocre ECs and 2) even if by some chance he got in, those schools only give need aid which we won't get but we can't afford full pay.  It's still highly unlikely he gets into UVA (based on our school's Naviance) but at least if he did, we could pay for it.

I think he'd have a lot better shot at highly ranked SLACs and possibly get merit since boys tend to be at an advantage with SLACs but he really wants the big college experience.  So, he's focused on big state schools with honors colleges.  Either in-state or OOs that give merit.[/quote]

Apply to Delaware! He’ll be in the honors college and get aid. It kind of feels like uva. Great school and he’ll love it. [/quote]

Lol, I was the PP and just saw this. Delaware is on his list for exactly this reason. We were able to tour before everything shut down and he really liked it.[/quote]
