[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Student at a public magnet (test-in, competitive, not DC but major metro)
-Rigorous courseload, mix of As and Bs, [b]one C [/b]
-1470 SAT
-Quirky ECs that demonstrate strong commitment to arts interests.
-[b]Field of study likely history or geology
[/b]
I think DC needs something nerdy but also a little artsy. Liberal but not ultraliberal. I think Carnegie Mellon would be a great fit in terms of vibe but DC probably doesn't have the stats to get in. Other ideas?

Key: In which course did the student receive a grade of "C" ?

Break out the SAT into math & verbal scores please.

[b]What type of "arts interest" ?[/b]

"Field of study like history or geology" ????? Suggests that the student has no preference or direction as the study of history is very different than the study of geology.

OP: I can help if you respond to my questions.[/quote]

Yes, this additional context would help a lot!  Is he/she thinking about a minor in an art area or is this more just a hobby?

Also, is there a preference on school size? Area of the country?  Any sense whether history or geology is the more likely pursuit?
