currently ranks 9/215 in his class
GPA is a 4.38/5
took AP US history as a sophomore and got a 4
Junior year schedule is honors english, honors prelcalc, AP psych, AP bio, spanish 4 honors and marketing ( we have limited APs at our high school and it is really not possible to take more than 3 a year due to block scheduling)
scored a 183 on PSATs as sophomore (will take SATs in fall)
scored a 680 on the history subject test
2 sport athlete
volunteered to keep score at children’s basketball games

I think your brother’s chances look good. Just to give you some info to compare:
My daughter just started at Isenberg. She is majoring in finance and minoring in Econ.
She had a 4.1 w gpa, 12/225 rank, 2000 SAT, 770 US History subject test, 5 on APUSH test, 4 on AP Eng Lang, various clubs and activities. She also is in the Commonwealth Honors College.

Avg gpa for Isenberg is 3.9 and SAT is about 1293 (CR and M) for last year’s class.

Good luck to your brother!
