Grades and projected SAT are too low for GMU[/quote]

Not true at all.

Sure, if someone wants to do com sci or engineering, you better have close to a 4.0 for GMU.  But for everything else, a 3.1 gpa (at my FCPS HS, based on Naviance) will get you into GMU.  We are one of the top 5 FCPS HSs, and we are close to GMU.  OP's kid can definitely get into GMU.[/quote]

I looked at the SCHEV data before posting, did you?[/quote]

NP. I don’t think she’s a candidate for GMU unless hooked. SCHEV has last year’s class at the 75th percentile at 1350, median is a 1240 and bottom 25th percentile is a 1160.  GPAs, similarly, are 4.0/3.78/3.45. My DS went to GMU several years ago. A lot has changed. He would not get in today[/quote]

OP again. Sorry to confuse people with an old thread. I was updating. GMU is actually one of the schools she did in fact get into with around 1100 SAT.[/quote]
