[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not shoot for something like ivy or Stanford or Duke? Your child has the stats to at least play the lottery, and that way you wouldn’t be stuck with a lack of options[/quote]

Huh???!?!?!  They can't get into Purdue, yet you think Ivies, Stanford and duke would be easier to get into? 
That's not how this works[/quote]

Unless OP misses something or not trolling, I don't understand how the kid applies VCU and GMU with these amazing stats, but not applying top 10 schools. Seems his best schools is only GT or Duke. I know several havard students SAT score is only above 1500.

Scores are irrelevant at T20 schools---once you have 1500+ it does not matter.  With acceptance rates well below 10%, majority will get rejected, and majority will have the criteria to be an excellent candidate.  So yeah there will be people with 1600 and 4.0 rejected---harvard and everyone else wants a balanced freshman class. [/quote]
