It’s in the parents forum, title is parents of the hs class of 2017 3.0-3.4.

There was a similar thread for 2016 that I found very helpful so I started the 2017 one and it’s a wonderful wonderful group of people. Not as active as the larger 2017 thread but a great sub group and most participate on both threads. I would imagine at some point a 2018 thread like this will get started and take off. Several on the thread are in the states you are looking at. My S17 is a bit higher in stats (3.45 UW, 25 ACT superscore and decent but not “most” rigorous classes) so these might be reaches but ones on his list you may want to consider are Ursinus, Ithaca, UVM, Allegheny. He will also apply at Goucher. When I started looking his stats were a bit lower than now so things can change and improve!

A few more I would suggest (can’t recall if already mentioned) are Rowan, Alfred University and SUNY Plattsburgh. Goucher was already mentioned I believe but I’d look at that as well. If Temple is the #1 choice, these all may be a bit small (and Alfred/Plattsburgh maybe too remote?) but worth looking at. They didn’t make my S’s list but that was more to do with preferring the LAC environment and some other aspects of the school.

That is fabulous you have a GC already working with you and providing some direction.
