[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has a 3.6 and very high aspirations. I think he needs to look at Top 50 as his reaches but I'm told I don't know what I'm talking about. So just checking here out of curiosity to see if I'm really that off base. Can he get into a Top 20 with a 3.6? [/quote]

T20 - No.
T50 - Absolutely![/quote]

3.6 from our private gets in to Wake ED; NYU ED2; Case (EA - lots of interest); and possibly 
Lehigh
Bucknell
(depending on who else is applying)[/quote]

WF is a 3.8 at our private's SCOIR/Naviance data.  No 3.6 have been admitted in at least 5 years. [/quote]

I can add that Lehigh and Bucknell are definitely possible.  Bucknell goes down to a 3.3-3.4 with ED (in the past 2 years).  Lehigh similar.

Wake is not.  Emory is not.  Those are 3.75+ schools, even with ED (from our private school.)[/quote]

Private is not worth it if you can't even get into Wake Forest with a 3.8 that you had to work for. That said there is nothing wrong with Bucknell or Lehigh and those are good schools for engineering, but still feel for a kid who had to work his but off and [b]parents who paid 200 K to say their kid is going to Bucknell.[/b][/quote]

When that kid graduates from Bucknell his parents will get to say he's working on The Street and getting that bag.[/quote]
? because every Bucknell grad gets a high paying job on The Street?[/quote]

It does have a rep as a feeder, so there's that.[/quote]
but, 1.  not every grad gets a job on the Street  and 2. OP's DC wants to major in engineering.  [/quote]
