In both its common data set and its class profile, Carleton only lists class rank, not GPA breakdown, so since 5boys school does not rank, if her son’s GPA is strong within the context of his school, he should be fine. He will for sure be waitlisted and has as good a chance as any of being admitted, if his test scores bear out with his PSATs, his extraordinary ECs and his LORs. Go for it!!

I also would not worry about getting to campus before applying. Do show interest, however, by attending any local events and arranging an alumni interview. i recall there being some questions on the supplement that will give an opportunity to show what your son knows about the school as well.
