[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he need more motivation in life - Like needs to be surrounded by peers who are more driven? ED to BC [/quote]

OP here - thanks!

Boston is too far[/quote]

Good because 4.5wGPA won't get anyone into BC even ED.

Does he want big or small, urban or not, warm/cold/indifferent to weather? Full pay or chasing merit? Is Greek life a pro or a con? What prospective major?

We can give better input with more details. I had a 4.5wGPA kid and we found the a great school for him, ED also helped to hit a high target. [/quote]
Depends on the high school and how they weight. At our DMV high school, the valedictorian often has a 4.5[/quote]

I'm the PP and I have one college student and one rising senior in MCPS. 4.5wGPA is solid but not top tier. Obviously grading differs considerably across school systems and sectors (private vs public), but at least in MCPS a 4.5wGPA puts many of the schools mentioned recently on this thread mostly out of reach without some other compelling factor, including all the Ivies, Johns Hopkins, Wesleyan, Tufts, Swarthmore, Haverford, Georgetown, Hamilton.

OP should be studying Naviance or the equivalent for her kid's school very carefully. [/quote]
