<p>This is all very well and good, interested1. What would you consider a very good match for a kid with these stats: 2310 SATs, 3 SATIIs all from 730-780, 8 APs (all 5s on tests taken so far), maximum and most rigorous courseload (including the big three AP sciences, AP Calc, and APs in two languages), state and national awards in two languages for 4 years, an unweighted GPA of about 95 (school doesn’t weight or rank, but definitely top 10%), 3-season varsity athlete all 4 years, plays instrument in regional youth symphony and at other selective venues, CTY 4 years, NHS, NMSF, Presidential Scholar nominee, great recs, wants a highly intellectual atmosphere in the humanities? Oh, and a very low EFC. Doesn’t want the South, or a very large school. Doesn’t live in a state with a well-known flagship.</p>
<p>How many schools should this kid apply to, and which ones?</p>
