[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he need more motivation in life - Like needs to be surrounded by peers who are more driven? ED to BC [/quote]

OP here - thanks!

Boston is too far[/quote]

Good because 4.5wGPA won't get anyone into BC even ED.

Does he want big or small, urban or not, warm/cold/indifferent to weather? Full pay or chasing merit? Is Greek life a pro or a con? What prospective major?

We can give better input with more details. I had a 4.5wGPA kid and we found the a great school for him, ED also helped to hit a high target. [/quote]

3hr locality to DMV
Chasing merit

My DC from an MCPS magnet 4.0/4.92 1580 SAT got merit aid at UMD.  They didn't have any strong ECs.  They didn't have much drive/ambition in HS. They are super smart (graduated college summa cum laude headed to graduate school) but was too  immature in HS to think about the future. FFW in college, they found their drive and got really amazing internships.

I think a lot of boys, if left to their own devices, don't have much ambition when they are in HS.  I tried not to push too hard in HS.  As an aside, DC recently told me that I should've pushed them more.  🙄 Just can't win.[/quote]
