[quote=Anonymous]If by Big 3 you mean StA/NCS, Sidwell, Potomac, GDS, Holton, or Maret, then an A-/B+ student is well positioned for those colleges. Assuming your DC took some decent academic electives, those grades are above average at those high schools. SATs matter a lot since the scores of out-of-staters pull up the college averages a lot. UCLA will be harder since the UC system has a 20% limit on nonresidents. Your list represents pretty good target schools. You are being far more realistic than the parents who think those grades are good enough to get into a top SLACs or "lower Ivy."[/quote]
