[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP thanks for feedback.

ND likes our HS and they kids every year with this GPA (and reject more). So with leadership - which ND likes - I guess it's a fit. We've never been so it's hard to know. I think my son may go out there this fall and stay with old classmates who are there.

I loved CMC when we toured, DS didn't like it. Hoping he reconsiders. Did ike Pomona, but Naviance doesnt look good.

not interested in Military academies, although they seem to accept everyone from our HS who applies. I think our HS has good guidance on that process.

GPA too low for HYP, I think. Might try Princeton. I think it's a super reach.

He's interested in both SLACs and medium sized schools (6-8k range). [/quote]

If he liked Pomona but didn't like CMC, listen to him and don't push it. CMC is a very specific fit school. Maybe look at Haverford (target, emphasis on leadership), Hamilton (target) and Williams (reach) instead.

Based on what you describe, I'd focus on strong mid-size schools like Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Boston College. No harm in including Princeton as a super-reach but keep expectations low. For other reaches, I'd look at Dartmouth or Northwestern. They could be a possible reach with ED if your school has good results with them.
