| Any particular interest for a major? We have an average kid by this area's standards - went test-optional - 3.35 GPA, Private school (not Big 3). Has an interest in STEM/Engineering. We found schools that are smaller and he was accepted at many of them (Quinnipiac, UMBC etc). I would also recommend reviewing EC's, volunteering, etc and other ways to show what your child's interests are. The College Essay guy has a lot of great worksheets to tease out your child's "values" - it helped define what he wanted to make sure shined in his applications. |

| This will be my kid! I see lots of familiar names. If you're open to the Philadelphia area, toss in St. Joe's, Ursinus, Immaculata, West Chester, many more. |

That will include people who took non-honors classes and few to no APs. |

CS? If so, that is why. |

IMO, some of those schools aren't worth it. Just go to community college and transfer to a better school.
And I say this as someone who didn't go to a highly rated school myself, but I think it makes way more sense, including financially, to go the cc route and aim for a better college. |

Our average child got into UNH engineering - unfortunately, the merit aid was minimal. Also accepted at Quinnipiac with generous merit aid. There are definitely pathways for average kids - they might be schools that aren't on DCUM's list. He didn't apply to Widener, York of PA and West Chester after visiting the campuses - he just didn't feel like they were places he wanted to study. No decision yet - but have faith that there is a school out there. |

Especially from N. VA much harder to get into because they only take a certain percentage from N. Va because they need to balance out the rest of the state. Same dot all VA States |

DP. The 25th percentile at JMU is a 3.62. Very, very few kids will get in with a 3.3. https://research.schev.edu/iprofile.asp?UID=232423 |
