[quote=Anonymous]My DS was around that GPA unweighted sophomore year. His UW was better (3.3) after junior year but still not fantastic. He has taken only 2 APs. He was accepted into engineering at WPI, RPI, RIT, Clarkson, Embry-Riddle, NJIT, Drexel and UConn. Got a high ACT and has done well this year which helped. Some kids need a little time to get it together. Colleges like to see improvement. Even if your DS stays at 3.1, he could get into a 4-year school and possibly for engineering. There are many good schools with acceptance rates over 80%. WVU and Mich St have engineering and accept >80%. Clarkson and Drexel have acceptance in high 70’s/low 80s (these were our safeties) and strong engineering. I think people see others’ stats on this site and think a 3.6 is “struggling”. No, a 1.9 is struggling. Plenty of 4-year colleges will take a kid with a 3.0.[/quote]
