[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is money an issue? If you can pay for expensive privates, what about Furman or Sewanee? My son, with slightly better stats, but not stellar, got into both, and Furman kept offering more and more merit. It seems like such a nice school, so I'm not sure why it's yield isn't higher. Maybe SC is just too big a turn off.[/quote] Not sure about Furman, but Sewanee emphasizes grades more than test scores. The average GPA for the most recent incoming class was almost a 3.9. It would be a huge reach for the OP's kid, especially without a high (or even decent) ACT/SAT score to compensate.[/quote] Some people on here just seem to deny that low stat kids can go anywhere except community college.
