[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your kid open to schools outside of Virginia?

Since you are open to private schools, it doesn't seem like you have a mind set where you are restricting yourself to "in-state tuition."
There are many schools in MD, WV, PA that are closer than some Virginia schools.[/quote]

Open to a degree. Cost is a factor.  Kid could be interested in WVU if they get merit. Also interested in bigger schools like Univ of TN and South Carolina (again need merit).  [/quote]

My kid had a similar UW GPA.  We wanted some merit.  Some schools on our list.  Kentucky the gpa cut off for reasonable merit is 3.6 UW.  Came to over 40K.  WVU for $11,000 was maybe 3.5 weighted?  Cheapest we deal we got.  Arizona maybe a 3.6 UW? Decent value but still between 40-45. Thought about UNC Charlotte due to low oos tuition.  Delaware shot down due cost.  Miami of Ohio give merit based on a weighted GPA.  So, didn't work out that well for my kid.

You probably aren't getting a low cost (comparable to in state) to an OOS big name private with under a 3.5.  Maybe if you have a great SAT.
