[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does it help if we are full pay AND a protected class? DS will have a 3.2 unweighted, no SAT yet; but with all honors and 5 AP from a FCPS. DH is a legacy Duke grad (MBA program), so would like DS to go there, but kid would be ok in UVA or JMU, which we have visited. We would be full pay. [/quote] With a 3.2 I don't think any of those schools are on the table.[/quote] Not even JMU?[/quote] Possibly not a bad chance (I think the 3.9 avg cited by a poster above is probably weighted. But I wouldn't treat it as a safety. UVA and Duke are far, far reaches for your kid. Also, I'm not sure that Duke counts MBAs for legacy status. They might, but many schools count undergrad only these days.[/quote]
