[quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to get on Naviance and dig deep into the data. Some of the suggestions here are great, some are insane (Skidmore, St Olaf, GW all show as targets for my kid w/a 4.5wGPA & 31ACT, we ruled out W&M because it looks totally out of reach.) You also need to take a skeptical eye to the data - if Naviance shows 1 or 2 admits w/your kid's stats, assume that's the 7ft tall kid who can dunk or some other massive hook. Also fwiw the gender gap isn't going to help your son at most places - the applicant pool skews female almost everywhere (except STEM schools), but so does the student body. Also, it's not too late to do some intense test prep for a December test date. We almost didn't bother, but my kid wound up making a huge leap on a second try. Final thing: of course there are schools for your kid. But you both need to do some work to figure out where he'll be competitive. [/quote]
