[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of GPA are you talking about? At what GPA is a Big 3 probably not worth it?[/quote]

Frankly?  Under about a 3.7. [/quote]

I'm curious about your post.  Can you explain your thought process?  Why, in your opinion, is a 3.7 UW GPA at a big 3 not worth it?[/quote]

well below a 3.7 from a Big3 and your college options start to be spotty or random--you may get into a selective school or you may not.  And this kid would likely have a much higher GPA in public and probably more options.  [/quote]

OP this is your first/ only child isn’t it?

I’ve got news for you, toots, as one who has / had 3 at Big 3s. I don’t care what GPA or test score your kid ends up with. S/he could have a 4.0/ 1600 and I would still bet my house against the chance that your kid will be admitted to HYP. It just doesn’t happen that often except in the rarest of circumstances and if your child meets those you would have known it by middle school

Best advice for you is to lower your expectations considerably. Fall in love with safety schools, not reaches or even targets. [/quote]

switch schools. our school a 3.7 is an A- and teachers rarely give A in honors classes. [/quote]
