[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does a kid with a 3.4 unweighted GPA and a 1230 SAT have a chance at UMD with no hooks?  I don't think it's worth taking the time to complete the application with those stats.[/quote]

Not being mean here, but to the PP (above), your kid has no chance at UMCP.  Your kid does have a good chance at GMU, UMBC, and other schools.  So, focus the search.

As for OP --- you come on to DCUM saying your kid was a mess for the first year of HS, then did OK for sophomore year, and better for junior year, and now, as a senior is really doing well.  So, you lead people to believe that at least half of his HS grades are not very good.  AND THEN, you come back and say he has a weighted GPA of 4.1 ????????????  Damn.  I'd hate to be your kid.  You have a very negative/critical eye on your son.  And you pretty much wasted everyone's time on this thread who generously gave you advice -- that you only "needed" b/c you have anxiety.  I think your 4.1 son is probably more capable of handling the college search than you are.  [/quote]
