<p>My son's Sat score 2270, Act 34 in one attempt. Cumulative GPA 4.06 (4.21 in 9th n 10th but 3.96 in 11th). Probable national merit scholar (99 percentile). Good research and volunteering experience overseas. Lacking somewhat in leadership. Do you think he has any chance in Duke/ Upenn or Cornell? Should we go visit these campuses or is it going to be just a waste of time/money? Any input will be highle appreciated.</p>
<p>Duke, Cornell and UPenn are reaches but they are worthwhile…</p>
