[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think your perspective has been completely warped by DCUM[/b].

Those are GOOD grades and test scores. He doesn't have to decide his major now. Have you started visiting schools? There are HUNDREDS that would offer him merit aid for those scores. Since he's unsure, you could always send him to a reasonably-priced state school (not sure where you are), but there are also many privates with a wide range of majors. I'm not getting a picture of what your kid likes or wants, but he should have many options. [/quote]

This. OP, you need to stop focusing on the scores that are shared here on DCUM. Majority and I mean majority of kids don't even crack a 1300 in the SATs. Yes, even here in the DMV area. Look at the percentiles. To give you some perspective, my HS senior has friends who are now college freshmen who got accepted to schools like Clemson, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, LSU, etc. who went test optional because their scores didn't crack 1200. Your kid can confidently submit a 1380 to any of these schools.  [/quote]
