[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the high school. If this were DC’s school (private, DMV), I would say Tulane, Villanova, University of Richmond, Bucknell, Syracuse. The specific names come from the info (recent acceptances by GPA quintile) shared by college counseling. [/quote] "Average" students are not getting into these schools. OP, this will be a difficult place to get actual answers and there are old threads. Actual realistic options: Mid-tier, in state options depending on the state (e.g., JMU, Towson), lots of LACs in the 50-100 range (which do give out merit), ASU, Arizona, Ithaca were ones on my legitimately "average" DC's list.[/quote] Agree with this. Also agree with the suggestion to look at the "directional" schools, or the non-flagship state schools. UNC Chapel Hill is extremely selective, especially for OOS. But UNC Charlotte, Asheville, etc., aren't as selective. That Awesome Average FB group is helpful. [/quote]
