[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an unhooked DS at Carleton right now with a very similar profile. Did not apply ED. [/quote] Sorry, hit submit too soon. I meant to add that I think LACs absolutely take course rigor into account. He did better in his college admissions than some of his friends who had higher GPAs but took an easier course load. If your DS likes Carleton, definitely look there because that is really a school that values kids who are willing to take academic risks and care about the actual learning beyond just the grades. Which is not to say that other schools don't -- I can only speak to this school because of personal experience. In today's admissions landscape, ED is probably a good idea too. I think large state schools are more GPA focused but I'll note he also got into UMD. [/quote]
