[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid with a 3.4 weighted GPA (2 APs, a bunch of honors classes, lots of Bs, some As, couple of Cs) and 30 ACT got into schools like University of Minnesota, Indiana University, etc. DC got generous merit from a College That Changes Lives School and a small merit scholarship from the OOS public university that he now attends.

Can I ask what field he is interested in?[/quote]

He applied to schools with majors in animal science, wildlife/conservation biology (or biology departments with a strong zoology or marine biology focus).  Not exactly popular majors on DCUM but they can't all be engineers or on Wall Street.  Applying to an agriculture or natural resources college naturally resulted in easier admission than applying to an engineering or business college within a larger university.

The average ACT at my kid's FCPS HS was under is typically in the 26 to 28 range.  The highest achievers in each high school might be getting 33+ but a 30/31 is still a good score that is above average even in a competitive high school.
