[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What t30 universities or t15 lac give the best boost for a competitive public school boy, likely top 5 in his class of 300, sat 1550 who is full pay. DS wants Ivy but he doesn’t have a hook or good enough ECs to realistically get in. He doesn’t have a set major he wants to pursue. His main goal is “name brand” and prestige 🙄. What we are trying to avoid… wasting ED on a school he would really want, like Penn, where he would be fine academically but realistically won’t get into. [/quote] This doesn't sound like a kid who will get into the top schools, given the lack of ECs, no passion for anything, no dedication, no leadership. He's smart but so are other kids. He wouldn't bring anything to the school. So the advice is to look for lower ranked schools. [/quote]
