Does Location of School Matter?

Spritle–most schools really only consider the CR and Math portion of the SAT so use those numbers vs the full score. It will help. I would also suggest that he look into taking the ACT as often that melds better with learning styles and kids can score higher, bu not always. With his stats he is a good match for most LAC around the country as well as most flagships so focus now on location and size of school. If he likes Dickinson, for example, sounds like he likes smaller schools so look for schools with 2000-7000 students and see if anything strikes him. The best thing you can do now is visit a small, medium and large school-just pick something close-just to get on campus and see what he likes. It’s an overwhelming process if you don’t narrow down by size to start.
