[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her GPA is out of range at midd and bowdoin.  She should not waste ED on either.  This is how stronger kids end up at trinity and conn college and Franklin and Marshall - she should apply to Colby or hamilton Ed with coach support and get in.  RD is such a crap shoot it’s likely she is shut out from those two schools even if in range w her gpa. [/quote]

OP, this is the best advice you are going to get on here. I'm a PP who posted about friend's DC as well as the friend of one of my DCs. Kids shut out at these places with higher GPAs and 33+ test scores. Even if Bowdoin is test optional, I gotta imagine that every kid with a 1500/33 ACT is submitting these scores, especially if their GPA is in the 3.5-37 range.

If your DC wants to throw it all in on ED1 @ Bowdoin/Midd, then I would be frank that ED2 at Colby/Hamilton may not be successful. Might work, but might not. DC's friend ended up at another NESCAC, but friend's DC left region as they didn't want to do Conn/F+M/Lafayette. [/quote]
