[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Happy to share names of colleges if you provide your kid's stats (approximate) and whether you want a large state school, a LAC, or something in between.[/quote]
Thanks! And thanks to the other PP who mentioned specific colleges. My kid would do better in a place with small class sizes. It seems like smaller colleges are best for that, so ideally it'd be some place with fewer than 10k students.
Mine is just a freshman, so we're a long way away but starting to think about the high prices. UW GPA so far is 3.5 with honors classes. He just got an 1100 on the PSAT as a 9th grader. Involved in some extracurriculars but unfortunately not a standout in anything so far. [/quote]

PP here.

First off - read the book The College Solution, by Lynn O'Shaughnessy, and look at the blog/website by the same name, before doing anything else.  You should follow the author's recommendations to the letter.
