[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Out of state kids with no honors and way less GPA were accepted though.[/b] It is what it is. [/quote]

DP.  How on earth would you know that?  You don't.   :roll: [/quote]
