I haven't heard of some of these schools before, but thank you! [/quote]

[b]Those are all safeties, not targets for TJ student with her GPA.[/b] You should be able to see on Naviance that there are some schools at your DD's GPA where it's almost all green.

I recommend on her Common App that she says she's interested in majoring in a STEM subject (math, CS, whatever her grades/coursework support) and a humanities subject. Colleges still are hungry for STEM girls.

Women's SLACs (Bryn Mawr, Holyoke, Smith) are targets. Wellesley is a target/reach - they do like high stat TJ STEM students.

SLACs like Bates, Colby, Haverford, Kenyon, Oberlin would be targets. Williams & Amherst are harder to get into, but not impossible - they like TJ kids a lot.

Definitely have her apply ED to whichever school she decides upon.[/quote]
Appreciate your advice. This is very helpful! [/quote]

If merit is desired, they are targets. [/quote]
