[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ISO an academically rigorous school that a B/B+ kid (from a private school) can get into. Late bloomer. Strong grades junior and senior years, but not the case of a bad 9th. Just mostly Bs in 9th and 10th.  35 ACT in single seating.  A few AP exams that he self studied for, 5s in all.

Doesn't have to be a culture of rigor/academics, just want it to be available and a large enough cohort that he's not the odd man out.

Open to the UK.[/quote]

Are you open to Canada and non-LACs? McGill would be out due to GPA cut-off, but UBC and U of T could both be options. Maybe Queen's U too? They are large publics though.

For LACs, perhaps Skidmore (NY), Macalester (MN), Haverford (PA), Oberlin (OH), Denison (OH)? Focus on LACs that aren't test blind and have him write his essay giving context for his slow false start or late bloom in HS, the ACT shows his potential as well as better grades in junior/senior years.
