LACs seem to either be super selective or hardly selective at all and there doesn’t seem to be a lot in the middle. What am I missing? Looking for real mid tier not DCUM mid tier.


People have listed a bunch above and there are many more reachable for your kid. Is there a geographic preference?

If a recruitable athlete, this will get you into pretty much anywhere other than NESCAC/W&L, etc. If just athletic, not sure that there is a real middle tier (although I might instead argue that there is a huge middle tier of excellent but not particularly selective options).

My DS had similar stats from a very rigorous HS and applied to 5 of these and got into all 5. Substantial merit aid at 3 of them (one of which he will be attending).

Most slacs re tear optional and will stay that way.

Look at the PA and Ohio slacs.

1320 SAT (after 1400 psat, not sure what happened) in March and will retake in August and October, he has a couple of Bs freshman year and will be around 3.8/4.3 ish after Jr year.
