Is This A Realistic List for High Test/Lower GPA Son?

You can calculate your son’s unweighted GPA - our experience is that the unweighted GPA is around 0.3 lower if the student takes a lot of AP or honors courses. If they don’t, it’s closer to the weighted GPA.

I have heard that Reed is really expensive, but the NPCs I ran didn’t back that up compared to some other schools. I also heard that it is hard to get into.

About the math SAT - is your son planning to take the SAT again, or is he in an AP math course? My son had only a 630 CR (twice ), but he got a 4 on the AP English Language and Composition exam. I feel like hopefully that puts him in a better spot when they look at his application.
