[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - I will add that she is at a top 20 USNWR public school which she got into via lottery rather than test scores. She is not "gifted" although most of her classmates came from the GT program. All of her classes have been AP or Honors.

We moved out of the DC area a few years ago but would love to move back especially if DD chooses a school in the mid Atlantic.[/quote]
Well that's a different kind of 3.3, don't you think?  Have her ask her guidance counselor for college recs.  Check out her school's Naviance. [/quote]

Do college's look at USNWR ratings closely?  DDs school is far away from the DC area and few kids venture east of the Mississippi River so I am doubting the school's name would be recognized as academically rigorous thus the lower GPA.  In looking at their list of the last 5 years of colleges, none have gone to schools such as Bowdoin, UVA, Duke, Swarthmore etc... so there's no history.

I've never heard of Naviance although after checking out the website it seems like a good resource for the guidance office to use.  I'll send the info along once school's back in session.  Thanks.[/quote]
