<p>Hi All! would appreciate your collective wisdom for my DS. His stats are as follows:
SAT: 650 M, 750 CR, 750 W.</p>
<p>He is a rising Senior and should be about 15 out of 300. I think his avg. is an 89, and he has taken the most demanding courses offered.</p>
<p>He is a conservative, church-going type and loves to have a good time without alcohol, etc. Would like to be no more than 7 hour drive from metro NY area. Any and all sugg's much appreciated! TIA</p>
<p>Stonybrook (SUNY) - match
Bighamton (SUNY) - match
Albany (SUNY) - match
Virginia - match
Boston U - match
Syracuse - match
MIT - reach
Cornell - reach
Brown - reach
Yale - dont get your hopes up
Harvard - dont get your hopes up</p>
<p>his scores are decent but a bit weak in math, his ranking is ok but not top 5 in class. So they don't rule him out of anywhere but they're not going to make an adcom drool. Where he gets in depends on his essays, letters of recs, and the strength of his EC's (which you don't really mention).</p>
<p>I don't know how big a school he is interested in, his interests or what his preferred location is, but here are some suggestions:</p>
<p>Villanova
Bucknell
University of Richmond (I think you can drive it in about 7 hours)
Providence College
Washington & Lee
Georgetown (a reach, but not a huge one)
Boston College (might have too much of a party atmosphere though)
Lafayette
Holy Cross
Fordham
George Mason
James Madison
SUNY-Geneseo</p>
