[quote=Anonymous]My DC, who attends the Blair math/science magnet, has an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and a weighted GPA of 4 point something (whatever the highest possible GPA is), because he has earned straight As throughout high school.  He plays a musical instrument at a very high level and has won lots of competitions for his skill, in addition to playing with a regional (audition-in) orchestra.  He has 400+ community service hours, and his PSAT scores are very close to perfect.  I have no idea what his IQ is, but he is extremely intelligent, capable, and hard-working.  He is truly gifted.

I can tell you right now that he will be attending an "average" college or university, because we cannot pay for a name-brand school.  So, he will get a great merit aid package at an "average" school and go there, or attend UMD-CP (which I assume DCUM'ers and certainly OP consider "average").

Whatever college or university he chooses to attend will not diminish his many accomplishments, nor the way we feel about him.  So I won't feel there is anything to "admit."[/quote]
