[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junior with solid B's at big 3, 31 ACT, dedicated athlete on travel team  but probably not good enough for division 1 maybe division 3, nice charming kid, teachers love him, will have good rec's, ok EC's.
Where do these kind of kids end up?  We don't have super high goals - just want to make sure he ends up somewhere he is happy.  He wants somewhere will school spirit and a fun campus life. Counselor says Wisconsin, Vermont, UNC but those seem like reaches based on this board.  HELP![/quote]

I don't think so.  B students are not going to either school (unless the top 3 Naviance says otherwise).  The bottom 25th percentile of entering students at both UVA and W&M is around a 4.04 . . .and that's the bottom 25th median.  Schev reports students at 4.43 for the 75th percentile for W&M and 4.47 for UVA.  (UVA stats are slightly higher than W&M, meaning slightly more difficult to get in)[/quote]

Once again, the grading school at top privates is completely different, and the colleges know it. [/quote]

[b]Parent of a "big 3" kid who got into Michigan. Sorry, straight 3.0 "B" students at Big3's don't get into Michigan without other hooks. 3.3, 3.5? Sure, but that isn't a "B" student.[/quote][/b]

Ditto for UVA and W&M.  [/quote]
