[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP - way too vague.  Maybe take him for a few local visits to see how he likes the schools - go to UMD or UVA, Georgetown, GW, W&L, etc..  That might help him narrow his criteria a bit.  He should use to search tools to see what pops up.  We found that the same schools kept popping up again and again.  Other questions he should consider - does he want to play his sport in college?  Can he play at the D1 level or need to focus on D3?  What kind of financial aid does he require, if any.  If merit aid is a priority he'd have good luck with those stats at lower tier schools.  If aid is not a factor then he can aim higher.

Also is the 4.1 weighted?  What's the unweighted?  What's the weighting scale?  A weighted 4.1 in MCPS isn't too good (e.g., my DS is at 4.65). That could be a challenge at the more competitive schools.

Yes, this is his weighted GPA in an MCPS. so a 4.1 GPA is not great??  Are you also saying that asking for aid will reduce his chances of being accepted? I apologize for the "troll-like" questions, I truly have no idea about this stuff as my kids are nowhere near college-age.  When I went to college, things were way different.  thanks again. [/quote]
