[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is excelling, big fish in small pond, BUT a lot of his friends have transferred out or are planning to do so. Be sure you check to see how many peers your kid will have in top 25th%, and if kid is way above the top 25% number, perhaps apply to a few more places where SAT would put kid at bottom rung of top 25 instead of higher end. He is working on transfer apps and as a transfer there is no possibility for aid. [/quote]

not sure i follow.  DS's friends are transferring b/c the school is not academically challenging enough?[/quote]

Correct. Too small a peer group as well. [/quote]

np - i don't buy "transferring because the school is not academically challenging enough" crap. i don't care if you are a big fish, large frog, or ugly crab, if you want to challenge yourself, you can push yourself in any college.  What a nonsense[/quote]

Hey NP, I’m just reporting what the boy says. I happen to agree with you! I will give him this though - they really aren’t known for recruiting into his desired career track. [/quote]
