This grades are not good enough for Wake, ED or not, not even close.

The people who just drop the 50 to 100 schools are nuts. Op, you need to talk to selectivity with a college counselor, not go off U.S. news rankings. Those stats will not be good enough for Tulane, NE, Miami, or Clemson oos. Think Syracuse, Delaware, JMU, maybe VTTech for a less competitive major.

I don't know VA schools, but consider Dickinson, Ursinus, SMCM, MHC (might be somewhat of a reach, but great school for training leaders), Muhlenberg, Juniata.

UMW for sure.

I'd look at both OOS small publics -- SMCM, TCNJ, and LAC's with good merit. I know kids who have gotten good aid from Roanoke, Goucher, McDaniel, Wooster, Allegheny, Juniata, and Washington College

Drop the SAT and go TO. She will be fine T50-100
Look for schools that have her intended major.

Apply to schools that a lot of other kids from your HS are not applying to…

William and Mary is 53, no way that is an option I don't think.

What kinds of majors interest her? STEM, business, economics, international?

Weather preference?

Distance from home?

How much could you pay?


Major: Undecided but not STEM. Likely business or pre-law
No weather preference
Prefer Eastern half of US, but not more specific
Donut Hole Family, but we've got a lot saved in 529.

Current junior at FCPS large high school. Captain and starter of her varsity sport, but not a lot of other extracurriculars and not a candidate for D1 or sports scholarships or anything like that. Consistently has gotten 5 A’s and 2B’s each school year. 1250 SAT. Will have 8 AP’s. Prefers a smaller school.
