Did you read the OP? Said kid didn’t want to be in the south.


Yeah, I just need to go bed. Thanks for taking time out of your day to point out that my attempt be helpful was wasted.

Sorry, missed the “big sports” part. Disregard Sewanee.

Don't listen to this. 1480 is nearly 99th percentile, and with 8APs the unweighted GPA is not bad, especially if the rest of the schedule is rigorous.

Apply to lots of large schools and see what you get. Instate will be hard to beat though. Try Syracuse, UVM, Marquette, Pitt, UIUC, UConn, Mich State... really deciding where not to apply will be hard.

try this list too

Big state schools aren’t big on merit aid for out of staters.

But merit aid for those stats would likely get only about $10k in merit, if any. My dd with a 1500 SAT and 3.6/4.2 and full IB diploma was offered 15k at Pitt.

3.57 (unweighted) GPA, 8 completed APs, 1480 SATs. Any chance of merit aid somewhere? DC wants a large sports school. I am thinking UMD, she is thinking far away, midwest or north (doesn't like the south, "it's too hot.").
