[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you are in Ivy or Ivy+ territory but everything else is on the table. It’s not all doom and gloom. Crafting a cohesive application with solid essays is key. What schools do they like? ED1 and ED2 if needed will be very helpful as well. You got this!! [/quote]

Not true. If ED and with well defined/explained narrative, northwestern and Hopkins are possible.[/quote]

1550 is barely enough (literally mid) for JHU for an unhooked kid. If only math is top rigor and science course are not (a few PPs pointed out that wasn't clear), then this applicant's stats are not high enough for JHU for an unhooked/non-feeder school kid.

A 1550 scorer will be in the minority at Johns Hopkins.  But still, your point remains that OP sounds like their child might be hovering around the top 10% of a second tier private with a 1550 and 4.0 uw max rigor.  But with deficient EC's they're looking at UVA as a reach with VaTech as a target.  If business is the major, look at early decision to BC, Villanova, Northeastern, Michigan, NYU, USC.  ED plus a high SAT is a big selling point for these schools.  NYU Stern and Michigan Ross are reaches but if studying economics, they have a chance.  Other schools to consider are Penn State, UMass, UConn, Rutgers, etc.  They all have reputable business schools and those stats should get some merit aid.[/quote]
