[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was at a DC selective public high school. Lower 1/3 of the class. Average ECs
At a SLAC but I wish he wound up at a bigger school as the social group is too small.
My DS was very similar in that he is challenged by all the smart kids around him.

Get SATs up and apply ED to Boston University
University of Rochester - go visit and see if it is a good fit
Do a summer program at University of Chicago and apply ED 0

Is your DC happy at the SLAC? I don't want to start another boring debate about Chicago, but the kids we know there are super academically motivated and had very high SATs. Don't think it's a fit.[/quote]

I wouldn't exclude that possibility.  Not to start a debate about Chicago, but 25% of Chicago students are non-submitters.  Like every school, there are motivated like your DC, and there are bright and happy kids who can adjust well once there.  Especially for OP's kid, strong in math and weaker in verbal can still do very well at Chicago. [/quote]
