[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS HS soon-to-be junior with 3.1 GPA (u/w) and scored 32 on ACT practice test. We are building a college list focused on $$.

Are there any schools that come close to matching COA of VA in-state options, given the not-so-great GPA?[/quote]

What is the weighted average?[/quote]

3.5 (estimated at the end of sophomore year). [/quote]

The GPA generally climbs from end of sophomore year to junior and senior year as students generally take more Honors/AP class in their Junior and Senior years.  My DC had a weighted 3.65 at the end of sophomore year and graduated with a 3.993. (He was admitted to VATech Engineering.) The lower the GPA the greater the difference.  If your DC gets the same grades and takes more courses that have the GPA  bump up- they will have a higher GPA.

Naviance uses the end of senior year GPAs.  So, if you can use the same grades from freshman and sophomore year and add in the bump ups, you can see an approximation of their end of senior year GPA.  Then use that to look at Naviance.  You may find that there are some decent  in state options for your DC.
