Just Google the school name and CDS and you should find a link on the school’s website. I think all schools put them on their website somewhere.
A 34 ACT is equivalent to a 1500 SAT I believe. How close was he to getting a 35? Prep classes do work so maybe worth it to get a 35 or higher. A 1500/34 or higher is where the bigger scholarships kick-in. Spend more time researching, visiting, and writing essays…and there will be a lot of essays.
The reality is that an in-state public school is the most likely option in the end unless you up the budget at least a little. I keep reminding him that most of his classmates go to Pitt or Penn State because of cost, not because they can’t go anywhere else. If you do up the budget just be sure it’s for the right school. Most of the privates we’ve gotten down to $38-45k/year with merit.
Knowing what I know now I’d cap applications at 10. Too many essays and research. In the end you can only attend one school. I’d also tell your son to focus on fit, vibe, and the type of kids he wants to be around at school. My son focused more on majors, cost, location, and outcomes. Now he’s looking at the social aspect. Kind of late in the game. There’s one school that he really seems to fit in with the kids and its the only school he’s waiting for a decision (deferred EA) and it’s above budget but we’ll pay it if he gets in…its a top notch school that he smiles about.
