I'd say that GMU and MWC are reaches with a 3.4 UW. Longwood, CNU (may also be a reach), JMU, VT. [/quote]

Huh?

OP, depending on major, she should be able to get into any school in VA except maybe UVA and W&M.

My DD graduated from an FCPS HS last year.  The school doesn't even report an u/w GPA and we found that many colleges just use the weighted GPA "as is" for admission and scholarship consideration (this is confirmed in the "from the counselor" notes on Naviance for many schools).  Assuming that your HS is the same, use the 3.8 when considering her chances for admission at the various VA publics, not the 3.4.   Heck, my kid got into much better schools than GMU, MWC, Longwood and CNU with a WEIGHTED 3.4.  This is DCUM and a lot of posters think a GPA under 4.5 is a sure sign of failure in life.   [/quote]

So FCPS weighted GPA us the number used for in state applications/admissions?!?[/quote]

From the looks of Naviance, yes. But other districts may not. This is all noted in the school profile sent to all colleges. Colleges are used to getting both weighted and unweighted and adjust accordingly. It's not a big deal.[/quote]
