[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior. 4.2 Weighted GPA, 1210 SAT (taking again in the fall), 3 APs so far with 3 more next year. Limited ECs - nothing out of the ordinary. Not an URM, not full pay...Wants to be a computer science major. Very introverted, typical geeky gamer kid. He wants a large campus. [b]We are trying to set expectations around state schools like George Mason, Penn State, Pitt, uDelaware, Rutgers, Virginia Tech etc. Even some of those aren’t guaranteed[/b]... meanwhile, my in laws keep telling him to apply to IVYs, Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon (as a “safety”). I love my kid but he is not getting into Harvard with his stats. What’s the best way to set realistic expectations for him, and his grandparents? [/quote] Some of them are not guaranteed? Sorry to break it to you, but unless the SATs go up quite a bit several of them are guaranteed "no" . . . [/quote]
