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

Youāre 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
UMaine, any CTCL schools. What major?

Thanks! I hate to even say the vibe country club but there it is in all its ugliness.
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 Iām 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 Gāburg 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. Iād 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 donāt know why because everyone on CC told me they had no chance for admittance. So Iām 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.

High Point definitely has the country club vibe going on.
I think Roanoke College might be worth a look.
