Intended major? Enrollment size? Any restrictions on types of colleges - single-sex, greek/no-greek, sports culture or no sports culture, music, theater, etc?

Youā€™re in the right place. Tell us more about the vibe and interests/major.

A few off the top of my head:

VCU
College of Charleston
Susquehanna
Goucher
Roanoke College
East Carolina
Eckerd College

Eckerd would be a low match:
The average GPA of the recent incoming class was 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. I think that they recalculate core grades. They are test optional.

The middle 50 percent of the recent incoming class scored:

  • SAT: 1100-1270
  • ACT: 23-29

His core classes are almost all AP and Honors. His EC are strong. Lots of volunteering at large fundraising events.

And thank you for saying Iā€™m in the right place, I needed to hear that. First born was an easy acceptance at top schools/majors. This child is our youngest and a completely different kid.

Stats too low for Gā€™burg but do you think full pay would be a hook for him?

My D had a low unweighted (decent weighted with a 31 ACT) at a respected parochial hs and got accepted with good merit, even though we were full pay. Iā€™d throw an app in. Money talks at a lot of these schools.

Honestly, both my kids were completely average students that got into some amazing schools with unexpectedly good merit. I donā€™t know why because everyone on CC told me they had no chance for admittance. So Iā€™m all for trying.

You are in the right place! My S has a 3.38 weighted. How about Ithaca or Marist? PS I am having my son apply to Gettysburg and a few other stretches.

I donā€™t know much about this schoolā€¦ but for country club vibe maybe High Pointe? @Sweetgum isnā€™t that in your neck of the woods?

Anotherā€¦ Rollins?

High Point definitely has the country club vibe going on.

I think Roanoke College might be worth a look.

Rollins, Elon, Miami Ohio, Marist, Univ of Dayton, Susquehanna, Dickinson, and High Point are all beautiful schools. Some might be reaches but worth a look.
