[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the spread of those 4-5 colleges on the list as far as likely, target, and reach? Depending on what that looks like, I’d probably add 1 or 2 more for each bucket. So, try building that way from the existing list with schools that may be similar or otherwise appealing. If you share the actual list, you can probably get more helpful suggestions.[/quote]

UVA— reach
W&M— reach or target?
VT—?
GMU— safety
JMU— target or safety?

He has said he doesn’t want an urban campus. I think he might like smaller schools, but he hasn’t said that himself. So I was thinking he could look at some SLACs. [/quote]

I would disregard GMU, its not a school for a kid who wants the real college experience. JMU is a great safety, everyone is happy there and he will for sure get in with those stats. VT would be a target but their admissions results are unpredictable. Take him to tour VCU this summer just to see if he likes the urban school campus.  If he prefers the smaller schools, Mary Washington can be a safety and he is likely to get merit money there.[/quote]
