Current students ... if you don't mind me asking, what was your high school GPA and your SAT/ACT score? I am just trying to get a basis of comparison.

Answer from a parent of a current student....96%, 2030 SAT. Got in as an early admit...and LOVES it. Good luck to you!

A classmate of my daughter's (small rural/suburban public high school in NYS) went to College of Charleston this fall. Based on what I've heard she was in the Top 20% of her graduating class and probably had a A- average and SAT scores in the 1150/1700 range. She did not take the most demanding curriculum offered at her high school (Advanced Regents Diploma, no APs).

Realtime--Would you mind sharing what your child (male or female??) loves about the school? Trying to get more insight on several of our choices--what made yours pick CofC? What other schools did he/she consider?

Also, realtime, what region of the country. This school is on my duaghter's radar, and we're from New England....

We are from PA. My D also considered JMU, UDel, Miami of Ohio, Wm & Mary, UVA, looked at Rice, Xavier, Ohio State...as you can see we had a pretty diverse list and no limit on geography. She did not want to go "where her entire HS would be". She was initially drawn to CofC for the urban in-city vibe, nearby beaches, warm weather. However, school size, campus visit, 1/3 oos students, raves about professors/staff and good matches for her potential majors/minors won her over. There are good things going on in terms of future development on campus but trying to maintain student population size, keeping class size/ratios/no TA's on the plus side too. Neat historical campus is beautiful! The drive down/back is a beast, but what a good excuse to visit this wonderful city! Not to end on a negative but her only complaint would be the lack of boys...about 66% female. Send your sons! ;-)

I know a girl who went who had like 1000 on the SAT. It's not too difficult to get in.
