I have heard the D3 schools don't have a lot of pull. Some said son is at the top of their board - but I am sure they say that to many kids and even if it is true, can they really get a kid with below average GPA and SAT score in?

I can't answer your question, but was hoping you could clarify something. Remember that almost half the kids admitted to any school are below the GPA and SAT medians (and averages can be misleading at schools that offer scholarships to attract some high achievers). Is you son at least sitting comfortably somewhere within the school's 25th percentile? Between the 25th and 50th? (I ask because I also want to know what schools my son ought to aim for given his grades and test scores, so I'm hoping for some knowledgable answers to your question.)
