[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has a 3.9 from a FCPA public (with a rigorous course load) and we’ve been told by a private college counselor that knocks many colleges (and I don’t mean ivies) out of reach for him. So a 3.5 with an average level of rigor is presumably going to have somewhat limited options, although there is always some 4 year college option for anyone who wants it and is willing to pay for it. [/quote] That GPA, assuming it's UW, does not knock any college out. But if your kid doesn't have anything else to sell, they're not getting into an ivy.[/quote] My reading of the original post is that the 3.9 is a weighted GPA. If it's not, and the kid took multiple honors and/or AP courses (the OP said "rigorous" course load) at a DMV public school, that would imply there are several Cs in the transcript -- that poses a barrier to T30 schools if unhooked.
