[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for these suggestions!

34/1500 is my guess based on cold tests run through a prep company (probably will just self study)

No A+ boost; not sure, but DC is likely in top 5% academically

Reads a ton for fun, even Harvard Classics type stuff.

3hr locality for family reasons. [/quote]

3 hours driving?!?

I think your kid could aim higher successfully, but if that’s the case just ED to UVA.

There are a lot of schools within 3 hours of the DMV. [/quote]

I’m thinking private, highly selective schools.

OP - private HS and full pay, right?[/quote]

OP here - I’m honestly surprised at how much engagement this is generating; thank you!

Catholic HS; not full pay. 30k consultant is not in the cards. I do have time, ideas from dcum, and an open dialogue with DC. [/quote]

If not full pay, look at SLACs… study your school’s matriculation list and notice where kids get in & where they go. That is the best use of your time. After running NPC, ED will matter.

You can also probably help create the English spike mentioned earlier, if you have enough time and energy. I posted about looking for English types of extracurricular activities for my sophomore earlier this year. Do you want me to see if I can find that thread to bump it up?[/quote]
