[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC has a 2.6 GPA (lower if you look at only core classes) at a (not big 3) DMV private. 1380 SAT. Applied EA to 10 colleges recommended by school counselor. Only one college has rolling admissions and it was on the “match” list. Wait listed. Very concerned DC won’t get in to college. Has anyone else been in a similar grade/SAT situation? If so, where did your child get accepted? Wondering whether DC should apply to a couple more safeties RD. DC needs a small nurturing college with good supports (tutoring, writing center, approachable professors). Thank you. Please no snarks. And please no suggestions for community college. Thank you.[/quote]

The key missing fact is whether you are seeking financial aid.  If not, it will work out.  DC was a 2.9 GPA with 26 ACT.  Admittedly case a wide net  - about 20 schools.  But, in the end, got in to more than 3/4, even getting "merit" at a NESCAC (probably because of gender imbalance).  Worried as well at the start, as things began with getting rejected ED but shortly thereafter got into big state school with rolling admissions and that took most of the pressure off.  [/quote]

Your DS got into a NESCAC school with those stats?[/quote]

MESCACs doesn’t give merit. So, no. [/quote]

Several NESCAC colleges give merit aid.

Before you holler "prove it!" my kid is at one and we get 10K.  They give up to 20K there.[/quote]
