[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her GPA is out of range at midd and bowdoin.  She should not waste ED on either.  This is how stronger kids end up at trinity and conn college and Franklin and Marshall - she should apply to Colby or hamilton Ed with coach support and get in.  RD is such a crap shoot it’s likely she is shut out from those two schools even if in range w her gpa. [/quote]

I’d agree if dc’s daughter was in public hs, but she is coming from a private school and this may be a very competitive and in range gpa for Bowdoin/Midd. These colleges love private hs school applicants and that already is a boost. [/quote]

No, her gpa is out of range even at her private school. She said gpa is 3.68 and previous admits we’re 3.75-3.8. She is assuming that ED will make up for the gpa. I am not convinced that is true. I think ED often gets in kids who are hooked (legacy and sports) and may have slightly lower gpa. But without a hook, ED won’t help you much if you’re out of range. She needs the coach backing to make ED worthwhile. [/quote]
