Because of smaller size? It seems like lots of kids from his IB program (in Virginia) are not taking UVA for granted…

Anyone have feedback on chances at Williams or Dartmouth? We have friends who are alumni who have been encouraging him but my impression is that they are beyond reach with his GPA. It should go up at the end of junior year–maybe 3.75 w. Our friends keep stressing his international perspective (he has lived overseas 5 years and traveled extensively) but I am not sure that it is enough of a hook. Frankly, we will only be in the US for a short period to visit colleges and so we want to prioritize.
