I haven't heard of some of these schools before, but thank you! [/quote]

Those are all safeties, not targets for TJ student with her GPA. You should be able to see on Naviance that there are some schools at your DD's GPA where it's almost all green.

I recommend on her Common App that she says she's interested in majoring in a STEM subject (math, CS, whatever her grades/coursework support) and a humanities subject. Colleges still are hungry for STEM girls.

Women's SLACs (Bryn Mawr, Holyoke, Smith) are targets. Wellesley is a target/reach - they do like high stat TJ STEM students.

SLACs like Bates, Colby, Haverford, Kenyon, Oberlin would be targets. Williams & Amherst are harder to get into, but not impossible - they like TJ kids a lot.

Definitely have her apply ED to whichever school she decides upon.[/quote]
Appreciate your advice. This is very helpful! [/quote]
