<p>Vassar, Bard, Oberlin. His EC’s are what sets him apart --his passion for music is his “ticket in” and keep padding the resume with enrichments (summer or during school year) that draw attention to it. Ok, so his PSAT’s aren’t great, but they are still within the 85% range, he can prep well and do much better on the SAT’s. His GPA is fine and will hopefully continue to climb as he adds some more AP’s. Use collegedata dot com as a good source to get accurate “chances”. It’s been on target with my S1 so far. Keep in mind though that it doesn’t take EC’s into account and it can’t know how his essays will set him apart, but I’ve found it very helpful and more accurate than most sites.</p>
