3.3 OOS and Wisconsin-Madison? UICU? Purdue? Ohio State?

Come on, Man.

Farther west "man".

KU/K-State;
Dakotas;
Nebraska;
OU/OSU
UNM/NM State
Montana/MSU

The original statement is still ridiculous. I’m not aware of the requirements for these schools, but you can add Texas and Michigan to the “nope” list.

I'm not sure what your problem is but you can add Wyoming, Idaho, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana and Arkansas to this list.

Most second or third tier level public universities, and most LACs offer business as a major. Plenty of non elite LACs and smaller state schools.

West Virginia, James Madison, Penn State (know this for fact as DD was 3.3 and got in), ECU, college of Charleston, UMass (again personal experience).

Not in Ohio State, Delaware, Florida State.

I just responded in another post and my DD got into these schools with close to 3.3 and NO test:

Temple - EXCELLENT business school
Syracuse
St. Joes - EXCELLENT business school
Penn State
Michigan State

I should also add Univ of Arkansas if you want to go far. DD didn't apply but I met some grads this past summer and the business students do well. Big companies like Walmart are in AK and they like UAk business students.
Your child has lots of choices. Don't listen to these people who say go to Montana or Kansas. We have so many choices right here within 5 hours drive.

We have a beach house in NJ and we're often surrounded by groups of St. Joe's alumni (families with young kids, etc) They seem like the most lovely, successful, tight knit groups. Yes, I'm massively generalizing but I've now watched this dynamic for the last 10 years and it always seems this way.
I know this school doesn't get much press in DC but I have a super positive impression of it.

Going across the country for college is an amazing experience.

St Joes would be a reach - average GPA is a 3.5

Naviance data from our HS shows multiple acceptances with sub 3.0 GPAs and 1200 SAT.

plenty of schools where they will have a great time and be surrounded by people who are normal and enjoy having fun and realize that going to a top tier school isn't going to make or break you. that comes from within.

I'd look at LACs ranked 50-100 that offer business degrees. They don't restrict who gets to be a major.

Yes.

South Carolina - Average 3.32/1299 - many accepted at or just below 3.0
Providence - Not much of a sample size for Providence but does show kids being accepted with low 3's GPA

Many more options than you think.
