[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean I think the issue is that there is no place for above average but not really high GPA kids. It’s either you need 4.0+/high test scores to go to WM/V tech/UVA/now JMU or you go to school that accepts most kids. There is no middle of the road.[/quote]

No you don't need high test scores and 4+ GPA to get to JMU.[b] I know a girl who is now a rising sophomore who had barely a 3.0 and very average scores (1200) who got off the JMU waitlist. [/b]That being said, those that don't get in there can do GMU or CNU. There is TONS of middle ground. There is literally a state school for everyone in VA.[/quote]

This seems to be as unrealistic as the post claiming their kid with a 4.3 was waitlisted. [/quote]

It was my kid. I think it came down to the number of APs taken, at least that is what was alluded to in the response to her LOCI. It’s a high school in NOVA where a 4.0 gets you in the top half of the class and most apply there. She wasn’t the only one with similar stats to not get in at the school. Out of state kids with no honors and way less GPA were accepted though. It is what it is. [/quote]
