| Truly average students. 3.0-3.5 UW GPA, 1200-1300 SAT, regular EC like casual sports or a job. Motivated but not a striver. What 4 yr colleges do these type of kids attend and find success after attending dmv catholic hs? |

if you are at a Catholic School - the Catholic Colleges and Universities are a good fit: St. Joe's, Duquesne, SLU, Dayton...
Other Private: High Point, Elon, Furman State Schools: Michigan State, U Conn, College of Charleston, Rutgers, Iowa And All of these are great schools for the right kid. What does your child want to do? |

The average students at our median GPA and the SAT you listed at the privates in our area land at JMU, clemson, UTK, Auburn, and VT if not going for a stem major. |

Yet that profile is slightly below average from our private (median SAT 1320, median UW GPA 3.55/W 3.82) OP needs to ask their school the medians and dig into the details of their school's SCOIR |

Tulane is above average - from a top school I agree but in general you need to be above average. Syracuse depends on the program but for general I agree - for Newhouse it is higher. Agree with the others. Indiana has gotten more popular and might get another small bump from football but I would still call it average. |
