[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s SAT is in the upper 1300s, but their GPA is 3.9 unweighted, due to health issues that made them miss school for some time during soph year. They attend a FCPS, bottom tier HS. Also has three 5s on APs and one 4. Will take AP calc AB senior year, and three other APs   At least one AP in the five main subject areas.

They have decent extracurriculars: summer jobs, two varsity sports, long term club sport, volunteer coach.

They are applying to large state, top 75 type schools (VT, JMU, UGA, Penn St) to non-impacted majors, think history, communications, sociology.

They will explain the health issue in the common app.

Usually admissions see kids with GPAs that are inflated compared to SAT scores. My kid is the opposite.

Will my kid have a good shot, being that now more schools are going test required?  The schools they are applying to are still TO though?[/quote]
