[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two schools came to mind when I read your description: Vassar and William & Mary. W&M has the dual degree in IR with St Andrews, which may be of interest. [/quote] Yes. She’s applying for the WM program. It’s concerning though. When you dig, many kids leave it because it alternates years on the campuses and it’s a very whiplash experience. A one year on a foreign campus may be better. Plus it very competitive. WM is on the list for sure. But 2 COVID B-s (4 As, a B+ in an AP) skew GPA. There were specific reason COVID hurt her grades (science fair project she spent all year on was not considered because it was meant to be the final, etc, during coronacation, and a 50 on a major assignment that was new work during coronacation in March April). So, it’s hard to tell if WM is an option from FCPS. Sophomore grades are glitchy. But COVID. So who knows?[/quote] You’re good at twisting yourself into pretzels, Mama bear. Covid inflated grades, didn’t hurt them. [/quote] Generally yes. But lots of almost completed big projects were completed. And if a kid missed a completion, it was an issue and retakes were not allowed by some teachers. It just stopped and the timing wasn’t great. It’s hard to know how grades from COVID spring will count. Her guidance counselor said not to worry context would be provided in the schools recommendation. But who knows? I agree this years grades and freshmen grades stand on their own. [/quote]
