[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is an OK student at a Big-3 (Sidwell/GDS/StA)--B average, with a good number of AP/honors/"upper level" courses. SATs average for the school (1400s). Let's assume no hook, or small hook. Full pay (no FA or scholarship needed.) Will probably write a strong essay, but not astonishingly good. What are typical target schools for this kind of student? Thank you![/quote]

Any Top 10-30 SLAC.

Tulane ED.

Unfortunately, this is incorrect. True, maybe Tulane ED. But no way for anything under top 25 SLAC. No Hamilton, no Colby, not with a straight B average. My kid is between B and B+ from a Big 3 and even as a top athletic recruit--like the top--could not get past pre-reads for top 20 SLACS.[/quote]

Interesting, a decent amount of kids in top 20 to 40 percent at our private get into T20 slacs.

Okay, [b]but a B average at "big 3" doesn't put a student in the top 20 to 40 per cent. It typically puts them in the bottom thir[/b]d.[/quote]

Not true -- the average GPA varies from big 3 to big 3. At NCS a B average puts you in the middle of the pack. [/quote]
