[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big three school don’t weight GPA so your kid has about an A- average.  Is this from the most rigorous courses?  I.e.  has he done a post calc level math course, has he taken upper level hard science courses, is he getting the national language medals in his language class?   If so then 3.75 1550 puts him in a great spot for top 20 schools.  I am assuming youre full pay.  If the 3.75 is from less rigorous courses I.e stay senior year instead of Calc you’re still in a great spot but need to look outside the top 20.

My advice:

If your kid just wants to Ed and be done and is a very top rigorous course load and you’re full pay ED at a middlebury, Michigan, Cornell, UVA, or rice and cross your fingers.  If he is less rigorous then ED to a hamilton, Bates, Wisconsin and cross your fingers

If he wants to “aim high” in ED just know it likely won’t work out.  If his course load is rigorous you could try for an upper Ivy or Amherst/Williams/bowdoin.  If he is less rigorous you can aim for that higher tier mentioned before uva, Michigan, midd etc.

Michigan and Wisconsin would be EA's not ED's. And,  neither are a shoe in, even with those numbers.[/quote]
