He’s a junior. We don’t know where to start. What medium-big solid schools anywhere within 8 hours driving distance would he definitely get into?

Agree.
Seriously OP?
You must not live here. That is honestly kinda below average in the dc area.

1250 SAT is not "above average." I had that 20 years ago and I struggled to get into good schools. And it has become insanely competitive since then.

OP, a 3.4 is a B+ and the most recent SAT average/mean score is 1059, so you do actually seem to mean "DCUM average."
I get what you mean, but be honest with yourself.

What part of the country and I can give suggestions based on friends’ experiences.
He’s honestly not sure. Because of covid he hasn’t had a chance to do a real college visit other than online (which is worthless). He liked pitt, penn state, and u of sc, but I don’t know if he could get into any of those, so we need more options.
