| Well, keep in mind those accounts are independent of the school and many choose not to post. In other words, it’s reasonable to assume that the bottom 25% have heavy overlap with those who don’t post. |

| I don’t know the mean but the Median GPA at visi a year or two ago was a 3.6 or 3.7 I believe. |

Looking at their list, I'd say:
U of SC Ole Miss Univ. of San Diego Miami of Ohio Loyola UCF CNU Drexel American St. John's St Joe's Univ of Florida Catholic U Towson SDSU Alabama |

Yes but remove U Florida and probably SDSU. |

For geographic diversity? |

Tell me you know nothing about the state of college admissions without telling me you know nothing about the state of college admissions. Richmond? Nope. NYU? Hell no. CMU. You're kidding, right? Clemson? Maybe, but probably not. |

DC area doesn't proivde geographic diversity to UF. No way they're getting in. The UF lady at a different local catholic high school college fair was really discouraging as far as admissions |

So far out of the 62 who have posted so far (2/3 of the class), 26 are in the T40 US News National Universities. That's 40% of those who have posted so far. Of the schools listed above (outside of the T40 and mostly high acceptance rates), you can safely say at least some of them are taking the lower 25% of the class. It's a good representation. |

I had the same thought about CMU. I am guessing the person who wrote that actually meant CNU (Christopher Newport in VA) not Carnegie Mellon. |

You should really ask your school for that info.
In the fall of junior year, Holton provides info to parents about the grade distribution and the corresponding schools that girls in each quintile had attended in the past. For the lowest 20 percentile, the corresponding GPA range in DD’s class was 2.6-3.4. The schools mentioned included: American U, Kenyon, Oberlin, Mount Holyoke, Penn State, Pitzer, Reed. (Frankly, these are fantastic options; it was a positive surprise.) |

| From what I’ve witnessed the parents make a phone call and reach out to someone they know to get their daughter in. Visi➡️GU. It’s done a lot |
