Reach/low reach. GPA is about right and ACT is in the 50% range.
Kansas may be a factor that helps. I think my son knows of only one other Kansas kid in his class from the class of 2021(they are in the same Chem/Chem lab section and math class and do HW together). IIRC my son says that his classmate is from Olathe.
Thanks! By ‘low reach’ is that a positive (not that far of a reach) or a negative (low chance of getting in)? First time prospective college parent, not familiar with all the lingo.
Low reach is sort of neutral. Any school with an acceptance rate of 16% like WashU is a reach, but your son’s numbers are within the range of accepted students.
Thanks! ND already said no. Hoping one of the others says Yes (WashU, Rice, Vandy, Northwestern).
