[quote=Anonymous]I'm the pp with 2 "average" high schoolers (one now in college). I have to say it really opened my eyes to see exactly how many APs and what grades/scores these (DCUM) kids were getting. I didn't take DCUM as 100% true, but it got me investigating the data from my kids' high schools. See, we were under the (completely false) illusion that a 3.5 GPA with 3 APs and 1800 SATs scores was a pretty decent candidate. It's all relative, certainly, but coming from schools in this area, these stats take you to at least the second tier of colleges nationwide and in VA,[b] might [/b]get you into GMU and Christopher Newport (a school I have never heard of 4 years ago). For me, it was an eyeopener. I'm glad I figured it out sooner rather than later as our entire family adjusted expectations. [/quote]
