<p>His GPA is solid, I’m glad you did your research on an excellent SAT Optional school, EC’s are OK (but lack of leadership could hurt him), ED always helps, excellent essays/recs are a huge plus, and a strong transcript also bolsters ur app</p>

<p>With a strong interview, I think it’s a Reasonable Reach (30-40%)</p>

<p>As for the rest, I think he’d get in everywhere but Clark (Match-Reach) and Wesleyan (HUGE HUGE HUGE Reach ---- plz reconsider that one; perhaps replace w/ Skidmore, Maine-Farmington, Suffolk, or Ursinus)</p>

<p>Hope this helps!!</p>
