<p>kate, D is not far removed from those stats (GPA and rank better,tests slightly lower so far) and we have thought that East Coast schools that would fit the "good bet" acceptance (not necessarily FA) would be Hamilton, Colgate, Connecticut,Colby, Bates and since he is a He-Vassar. I'm sure there are others but these seem to all be pretty exciting schools, to me at least. You don't have to drop very far statistically to get to much more realistic admissions schools than HYPSDMC.</p>
