[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a NYC family. Visited GU last week and it seemed great. Super social but not frat heavy, which would suit my DS. He'd love a midsize school in or near an East Coast city. Probable major is social sciences. We can pay in full and DS has a strong SAT score (1530/1540 from March/May). Any reason not to REA? Downsides that weren't obvious? I figure GU is a known quantity on this forum![/quote]

Sounds like it could be a good fit for your kid. I went there and enjoyed it. For a kid who knows what they want to do and is interested in IR/government, it’s awesome.

Look into SFS … you can’t beat it if your kid is interested in going into the fed govt, law, NGO work, etc. [/quote]

OP: I don't think he really knows what he wants to do, and probably not government. But hopefully that wouldn't be a problem?
GU does like kids from his school, but it seems like the super duper high-stats kids (1590 SAT single-sitting) apply there if they get rejected from Ivies in the early round. So my thinking is it might be better for my kid to REA and not go up against that crowd.[/quote]

If it’s your kids first choice, no reason not to go for it, but I don’t think this logic is correct.  If they know they usually get higher stat kids from your high school, they likely will just defer your kid to RD to see the full pool from your school.  But  one never knows what will happen.[/quote]
