[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to know where the bottom unhooked kids are going, not the top.  :-([/quote]

Elon, smu, tcu, sewanee, muhlenburgh, American, trinity, Syracuse.   Not bad schools at all!  These are full pay.  Kids who need aide or instate are doing JMU, UMBC, CNU, or small liberal arts colleges like Juanita, Wooster etc.  [/quote]

Interesting. I guess my 11th grader must be at the bottom of the class at their Big3 because the college counselor recently recommended almost every school on this list: Elon, SMU, TCU, Syracuse, Sewanee, Muhlenburg, Trinity. Unfortunately, my DC isn’t really thrilled about any of these schools. Really wishing we sent DC to public. 34 ACT and 3.1 GPA. [/quote]

Just curious but what did you expect with a 3.1 gpa?  Not that those schools are bad - but how high were your expectations?[/quote]

Honestly, I don’t know what I expected! Maybe Tulane, Miami, Bucknell, Colby? DCUM says that is where the bottom 25% of the big 3 go? The GPA is an upward trend (3 Cs in 9th) so probably a bit higher at the end of the year and by end of senior year. [/quote]

Please don’t box yourself in. Your daughter or son is an individual and they could get it to schools that maybe others have not with those same grades. Go through the process have realistic expectations aim high. Best of luck! [/quote]
