<p>Jrussell: what may make sense is to post on the 2012 one and ask the mods to transfer it over in May…that’s what this one ended up doing…</p>
<p>Or start it yourself…</p>
<p>The thread for the class of 2013 already exists.

<p>Thanks! I hope we can light that one up with some thoughts and suggestions.</p>
<p>Hi - I’m new to CC. My son just received his final grades for Junior year. He did well (for him) for the year - a 3.22 and has been on an upward trend, but has an overall average of 2.98 for the 3 years. He’s taken 2 AP classes this year and is planning to take 2 next year - all in History. No honors classes. He’s taken the SATs once and scored 1740. He’s planning to take them again in October. He’s goes to a competitive private school in California. We’re headed East for a college tour and are currently planning to look at the following schools: Muhlenberg, American, York, Ithaca, Quinnipiac, Marist, Hofstra, Clark, Emerson, Champlain, St. Michael’s, UVM, and Plymouth State in N.H… He’s interested in studying business and would prefer a school with about 4000 to 5000 students, but will consider 2000. I would appreciate hearing from others - if we’re on the right track or way off, and if there are other schools we should consider. Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Found1, I think you have an excellent list–you found a lot more than 1 good option. Do you have enough time to visit all those schools or are you seeking to winnow the list down? I understand the need to limit your cross-country trips, but would be concerned that by the end of the trip, your son might be overloaded. </p>
<p>I will PM you some additional thoughts.</p>
<p>yabeyabe2 - Good to see you posting… You’ve been missed.</p>
<p>Thanks family3. I added some new charity work this year and have found it so time consuming that I had to go offline. Although my similar decision to stop reading political news has made me less aggravated, I did miss the many fine people on this and similar threads.</p>
<p>This thread is an older thread</p>
<p>the latest in the series is

<p>and it is very active</p>
<p>My son fits perfectly in this category, and was accepted to the following Virginia public universities:</p>
<p>George Mason (which he will attend)</p>
<p>Virginia Commonwealth University</p>
<p>Christopher Newport (was originally placed on waitlist, but then accepted).</p>
<p>I know there are other threads on this topic but I have a student I am helping that falls into this category and wants to know where students with his stats have been accepted. I am just posting now so I can find this list later. Thanks for all the posts. it has been very helpful.</p>
