[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a junior who scored 1500 on SAT assessment during his prep class and was in top 1% on PSAT.  Will likely end up with 3.8 out of 4.0 by application deadline next year, because he didn't take studies terribly seriously until this year.  Has leadership position on an academic team, solid but not top competitor in niche sport, is an Eagle Scout.  Isn't taking as many APs as some seem to, but is taking most of the most challenging curriculum -- for example organic biochem instead of AP Chem, will follow AP Calc with linear algebra, etc.  Not great in humanities but got a 5 on AP Euro test.

College counseling at his private school provided a first list that is pretty wide-ranging. Can he get accepted into a college that might rank in the top 30 (define that however you want)?  If so, which ones?  He'd be considered a legacy at two of them.

Thanks for feedback! [/quote]

This kid could get into a top 10 school. The people on this board are not your friends. Or maybe they're just ignorant.

Start researching how best to put together an application. This is very do-able. GL. [/quote]
