<p>Consolation - I agree with Longhaul that Haverford is a reach for any student with the acceptance rate. Also, DS works hard for his grades and the low As could easily become Bs junior year when he takes more APs. Also he only qualified for CTY with his CR scores, math will be lower. Lastly, we won’t qualify for financial aid even with 2 in colleges so merit aid would be nice.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for the great ideas. I think he would be open about the weather piece for the right school. After all we live in Maryland so he can survive hot and humid summers.</p>
