[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two thoughts

l)  If you can spare the dough, some parents send their kids to a "fifth"year in a private prep high school.  Sometimes called a "gap year".  It gives them a year to take serious classes, pull their GPA up, get better organized, have counselors help them put their essay applications together.  Usually boarding.  I've never done it but know it is frequently done when the child just doesn't have the grades or know what s/he want to do with their lives.  Gives them the gift of time.

2)  I can speak only to GMU because that is the only university our daughter wanted to attend.  But many of the VA universities mentioned by 21:39 have become increasingly selective.   This is from GMU's website:   accepted average GPA at GMU is 3.7.  The accepted average SAT 1260.  Expected ACT is 27 (our daughter's was 32).  She got in on EA.

3)  There's also NOVA.  I think our daughter will be taking some calculus and science classes there over the summer to better prep her for GMU.

Hope that's of some help.[/quote]

Are you sure that 1260 is right?  Seems about a 100 points too high.[/quote]
