<p>My bet is that even for places a few notches less selective than Dartmouth you’re still going to need a higher SAT score.</p>
<p>I do not recommend ED for this student unless the father’s income is very low. With a dad in the picture, PROFILE schools are going to insist on a financial statement from him. There is no telling what he is willing to contribute. Also there should be a variety of selectivity in college the OP is considering since there is truly not a big chance that the highly selective schools will accept her with her test scores below the 25% mark. By all means she should have a few on her list, but she should also be looking at some financial and admissions safeties as well.</p>
<p>My dad is in the Army National Guard and I am not sure what his pay is…his pay rank is a 5 I think…</p>
