[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swarthmore, Middlebury, Tufts, Davidson, Vandy, Pomona, etc. [/quote] Swarthmore, Middlebury, and Pomona are almost as tough as Ivies. The 3.5 Sidwell student would have a shot if everything else in the package was strong, but no guarantees. Washington University would also fit into this category. Duke is also a little easier than the Ivies. I think the counselors would say that 3.5 students should target schools that accept 10-15% of applicants, not the one that accept 5%. There are exceptions though, because some kids have connections or hooks and some are just really interesting.[/quote] What would counselors say for a 3.80 strong STEM-focused kid with no hooks? A reasonable shot at HYPS for early action, or is the advice to focus on one level down?[/quote]
