[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, his GPA is around 3.6-3.7? It's so hard to judge what that means for a particular high school. Where does he fall in the class? Sorry if I missed it.

I think Tufts (ED) and [b]BU[/b] are absolutely possibilities. USC is unlikely but apply anyway. UCSB you'd need to check his UC GPA, which is only for 10th and 11th https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/ and https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

Michigan is hard to say; who Michigan takes can be confusing. Worth a try.

As noted upthread, Santa Clara will need demonstrated interest. Also may not be as urban in vibe as he is hoping. It's nice that EA results for SCU come in December.

GW is a low target; apply RD and expect merit. DU is a safety.

U Rochester would be a target. If U Roch is of interest, also Case Western.[/quote]

Possible, but not a sure thing. I know a kid  who got deferred in ED with a 4.00 UW GPA and a 1530 SAT. 
Maybe it depends on the major.
