So has he talked to that private school counselor?
Perhaps at that school, someone with a 3.3 is getting to Northeastern. That’s what I’m asking - and asking about rigor - the level of classes taken. Has he taken Calc? AP classes? Do they even offer them? How many years of one foreign language?
All these matter.
In the end, I can chance you statistically but I don’t know the performance level of your HS. Is a 3.3 going Ivy, etc.?
I’ll assume no cost issues.
