[quote=Anonymous]I feel like your high school’s college counseling office has fallen down on the job a bit. We have been hearing from freshman year on how competitive the college process is currently. When I say “we,” I really mean “me,” because my husband and son basically tuned out all of the information (and also my warnings) until the end of junior year when they were shocked that DS didn’t have the stats to get into schools that would have been slam dunks 30 years ago. (eye roll)

Anyway, our son has similar stats, but unbalanced in the opposite direction, so I don’t have any personal experience applying to engineering or CS programs. DS has a friend with stats like your son’s (weighted toward math and science) who has been accepted to Pitt, Penn State, WPI, RIT, Denver, and Dayton for engineering, fwiw.

I would do as everyone else has suggested and get an appointment with your school’s college counselor to get a realistic list of colleges where kids from your high school have been successful. [/quote]
