[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]She likely will not get into UVA or W&M with those Stats, unfortunately that is just the facts.  I would have he work on her SAT to get it to the upper 1400’s for those schools[/b].

I would suggest she look at Clemson, I wish I had gotten my daughter to look there.

Good Luck![/quote]

She has only taken the SAT once with no prior preparation (other than taking the PSAT) and her current plan is to study and take it again in August.  I know the schools superscore, so I'm pretty confident she will get at least a little higher score because she essentially "flipped" the scores she got on the PSAT--on the PSAT her reading/writing was 20 points higher than math and the reverse was true on the SAT.  She has a strong upward trend in her grades and the current weighted grade includes a "B" she got by taking high school math courses in middle school--I don't know if the colleges recalculate around that.  When I look at the Naviance scattergram she seems to be pretty well in line with acceptance data at W&M and slightly too low of GPA for UVA (though her SATs seem fine for them--they just seem to weight GPA a lot more when I look at the scattergram).[/quote]
