William & Mary (enrolled)

I HIGHLY recommend Hobart, if you are looking for a nuturing SLAC. It is beautiful and has a great college vibe and the faculty are very involved with students success. We loved it. Chose not to go because of the weather! (and because he was a late admit to W&M and we chose in-state tuition).

Might be a bit low for Elon. Elon went on the Common App this year and saw a huge jump in applications.

The Class of 2023 boasts an average SAT score of 1,241, an ACT score of 27 and an average GPA of 3.99.

To be clear, I never said DS was at Whitman. He went to a private HS, which I will admit makes a big difference, particularly at Trinity/Conn.

And I don't know how it works at Whitman, but at most privates you lose Naviance access at year end anyway.

Yeah, exactly what I expected. You can't do it. You don't have even on friend who still has access.

I don't know what your motive is and I don't care. Just that you are lying, or very mistaken. But probably lying.

My DS goes to a private around here. 2.9 with low 1300s SAT. Trinity, Connecticut College, Providence, all suggested as matches by college counselor. PP is not lying. You just don't have experience with the bump for coming from top private around here. And it's true, someone does have to be in the bottom 25%!

Seriously, if you have an undergrad, just upload a quick screenshot of your Naviance scattergram and this will be settled and you can jam it in my face.

NP. Similar scenario here. My kid got admission and $10k/yr from SUNY Binghamton (OOS) with an Sat just below the 25th percentile. High gpa though.
