[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is having some health challenges and needs to stay close by.  Would rather not do Mason if possible (just too close) and doesn't have stats for Georgetown.  Are these really hard to get into?

Right now 11th grade 2 APs 4.0 avg after 10th- all A's so far this year, but maybe will end with a b or 2 due to health challenges, not surei.  Will most likely take 3 AP next year.  Honors for all core and will reach AP span senior year.

We don't have a lot of naviance data since it isn't a frequent admit at our school.

I don't know if they will be too hard to get into and DC should look at a Marymount or Catholic, but we aren't religious so would prefer the other if possible.[/quote]

It sounds like you are VA in-state? If so, just to remind that GMU is slightly over $33k all in, whereas American is $80k and George Washington is $92k. Our DD, too, needed to be close to home. We didn’t have the luxury of looking at private versus in-state VA. DC had a great four years living in the dorms at GMU, rarely came home and took advantage of GMU’s five satellite campuses including Korea. please don’t write off a campus just because your kid hears some crap at school about 13th grade. GMU is enormous - they are never going to see their high school friends. Also, what major?[/quote]

Oh definitely no disrespect to GMU- we both think it is a great school.  It is just that we live like 5 min away and have spent a lot of time there already.  The kid has had a few years of very rough breaks so if we can make it work we are going to try to help them.  Not sure of major yet but probably need to start thinking of it.  [/quote]

What about Shenandoah University or another nearby VA school? [/quote]

That is another option to look at, thanks PP.  I didn't realize it was so close [/quote]

Also look at NVCC with auto admit to all VA state schools if you hit the requirements. Could be a good option if things could improve over the next couple of years.[/quote]
