The 25% for Colgate is 650 Verbal, 650 Math

Depending on the kid, he has a chance, but it’s not a likely.

He's not getting into Colgate with that SAT.

What kind of HS is he coming from - private or public? What's he interested in studying? Any geographic preferences? Have you toured any colleges?

Colgate is a bit of a reach but might be worth consideration


Just be prepared for a super woke left wing SJW culture if you pick either of the first two.

Lots of great liberal arts colleges. What was his gpa and what are his interests? Is he artsy or does he do sports? Some lacs admit a lot of student athletes; at others, it’s not a big deal.

He would need to apply test optional to some of these


Specifically the last three.

A few more good matches: Sewanee, Denison, Furman.

Kalamazoo
Hobart and William Smith
St. Lawrence
Gustavus Adolphus
New College of Florida
Dickinson
Lewis & Clark
St. Olaf (75th percentile is 1390)

He's in the 25th-75th percentile for all of these based on USNews. Rhodes: 1220-1400. Colgate: 1300-1470. Whether or not he applies test optional would be his choice.

I would look at Wesleyan, Union college and Colby college.

You should start visiting them. Does he want an open curriculum?

DS is interested in SLACs but DW and I don't know much about them. What would some match schools be for a kid with a 1380 SAT and a 3.93 uw GPA? Doesn't have any specific criteria now other than small and liberal-artsy.
