[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a good student (A- unweighted at a decent but not "top tier" private school outside DMV), strong standard ECs (varsity sport/club leadership, community service), strong SAT (1510). Major: Undecided social sciences Has anyone had a DC attend or have experiences at these colleges that you'd be willing to share? University of Denver UW Seattle McGill UC Davis or UC Santa Cruz Santa Clara U Wisconsin Madison Finally, would these reaches (USC, BU, tufts, NYU, UCSB, Michigan) be too high of a reach for this profile student? He's interested in applying but I'm afraid they're too reachy. [/quote] I have a similar DS (private school, good ECs, same GPA range, 35 ACT). I kept hearing how boys like this are sought after by top colleges, but he has had surprising deferrals so far. Maybe the January round of EA decisions will be better, but it has been hard for him.
