<p>S has an even worse mismatch: 2180 SAT/32 ACT with a 3.2 GPA. Because of the mismatch he was advised by GC to apply to a higher number of schools than normal. GC said she cannot predict how schools will view S’s GPA. His SAT is above the 75% for all the schools he is applying to so we are using his GPA to determine safety/match/reach. </p>
<p>S is addressing the mismatch in his essay where he discusses his love of learning. He has two teachers in whose classes he got B’s but who know know him as a smart/intellectual kid who greatly adds to class discussion. Hopefully, those two things will tip the odds in his favor. </p>
<p>Your D should address the medical issue on the app and ask her GC to make note of it also.</p>
