[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all! Thanks for the input. Not STEM, but econ (if Colgate) or finance (if Lehigh/BC.) Reasonably high stats -- 3.92 unweighted, but mixed in with all those As is a C+ in APUSH in 11th, ughhhhh. 1500 SAT. Has consistently taken the most rigorous classes, great ECs, essays and rec letters should be strong.

We go back and forth between applying ED1 to Lehigh and probably nailing it down and being done, vs. shooting their shot at BC and Colgate -- for some reason Colgate is a tough admit from our school; 0/7 last year and 1/11 the year before.  TBH I don't think Colgate is a great fit anyway, but for some reason my son is enamored with it. We are full pay so that helps at need-aware Colgate, I guess.[/quote]
Aim higher. Emory/WashU/Cornell level for ED1. Notre Dame and Georgetown EA. BC ED2, and Lehigh/Colgate RD.

I disagree - these are very hard admits for UMC white males even for ED1 (most very high stats kids in this category from our school were either rejected or WL ED1 and then same again for the WL EDs in RD)

So...if your DC wants BC, they should apply ED1 there and ED2 to Lehigh

I'd pass on Colgate, or at least wait for RD...which might be the same as passing[/quote]
