[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? [/quote]

VT is probably a target for non-engineering major with his profile and stats. I’d still consider W&M a reach, but you may want to check your school’s scattergrams. W&M also cares a lot about fit and demonstrated interest (it appears a bit of an outlier as most other schools on the list are much larger).

If leaning towards big universities in the mid-Atlantic states add Pitt, UDel, Penn State, and maybe UMD. It seems he wants larger schools that aren’t too far from home. If he wants more mid-size colleges similar to W&M, consider Wake Forest, Elon, UMW, and Charleston. There are also a bunch of PA-based SLACs that may be appealing (F&M, Dickinson, Gettysburg).[/quote]
