Look at your schools’s Naviance or SCOIR data for your student for the most realistic picture. Nobody’s gonna make you a college list for each band of GPA and also, GPAs are not the same across school districts.

Admissions is test-optional now.

The common App gives you 20 chances. I don’t get why some parents don’t use all 20 chances. Plus not every school uses the App. And you can get the application fee waived (if qualify).
