[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP, I used average and B as a guide, it’s impossible to cover all the various factors. My own is at a rigorous private (not dcum), has a B average, all honors and AP classes, 98% SAT test score, but is bottom half of rank. She’s applying to average schools, not interested in reaches, does better in a less intense environment. [/quote]

Mine is at public and similar, though a little lower SAT. More like low-mid 90s% for SAT. He is applying to all targets and safeties and we all feel great about this decision. It's been mentioned already but I love Loyola Maryland for this kid. It has school spirit and some D1 sports, beautiful campus and reputation for friendly students, but he'll get a lot more attention and support for things like internships than at a large state school. I think it would be great to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond after coming out of a very competitive DMV public where he feels like he's nothing special. In the end it's his decision and he'll probably end up choosing a rah-rah state school (he's already gotten in to a couple), but he has agreed to go to a couple of admitted students days and make an informed choice.
