[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][mastodon][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]

[b]Good lord, where does your kid go to high school that the grade inflation is so over the top? [/b]My kid had a 4.4 and was top 5% of her class, headed to her first choice T20, and here you are talking about a 4.5 as if it’s some massive handicap! [/quote]

You are behind. The 75th percentile of UVA’s entering class last year had a 4.5. Median had a 4.4 ….[/quote]

That’s insane.  Our high school doesn’t weigh honors or DE classes.  The smartest kids end up taking DE classes in 11th and or 12 grade because they took all the AP available for that subject offered at school already.  Pretty sure no one ends up with over a 4.5[/quote]
