Just like a 3.4 at Sidwell is not the same at a 3.4 from St. Anslem’s.

OP I have a similar student. Also look at large state schools with good sports programs. They tend to have great disability offices since they serve a wide range of students.

Mix of A's and Bs. I would say optimistically 3.3-3.4. No SAT yet, will likely be low (took SSATs to get into high school and they were about 30th percentile).


So he’s in private school?


Yes. Not a super rigorous one, but a decent one. No grade inflation.

Puget Sound might be a reach but it does offer students a lot of individual attention and, unlike many LACs, has a business major. Other CTCL colleges also might be good.
