[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listing the VA public Us by median GPA (from SCHEV), Only UVA, W&M, VT have medians above 4.0. Although VT's is impacted a lot by higher GPA for engineering admits so outside of that I'd say it falls with the big "middle-sh" group that has medians in the 3.7-3.8 range.

UVA 4.4
W&M 4.33
VT 4.04

JMU 3.88
CNU 3.78
GMU 3.76
UMW 3.73
VCU 3.73
VMI 3.70
Longwood 3.69

UVA Wise 3.55
ODU 3.40
Radford 3.40

Virginia State 3.03
Norfolk State 3.01[/quote]

Nice data. From this, it’s easy to see that kids who attend UVA and WM have completed lots of AP courses with excellent grades. That’s why their GPA is above 4.0. The high-middle schools are for kids who excelled in a general education program. Notice that their GPAs are near 4.0 but not above it. Kids at the bottom schools clearly struggled even in a general education program. With a GPA around 3, such students probably had a few As, mostly Bs, and some Cs.  [/quote]

Weird assessment, bro. So much wrong with what you've written here. Only kids with above a 4.0 took AP? Because that's how you wrote it. Plenty of kids take AP courses and get below a 4.0 GPA.
