[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everything but UVA and W&M would be safe based on those stats and course rigor.

VA Tech seems much more focused on GPA over SATs.  My DC's FCPS scattergram shows 0 denials for anyone who has under over a 4.0 weighted GPA (plenty of SAT scores in the 1200s).  My junior with a 1480 SAT and 3.85 GPA is in iffy territory if he doesn't get it up to a 4.0 this year. [/quote]

Agree with this poster and 14:13 PP. VA tech for engineering would be a long shot but she’ll be comfortably within range for most other majors. Even UVA and W&M aren’t completely out of reach, especially if she can pull up the SAT score. [/quote]

Agreed. OP said the 1300 was without any prep. College Board just came out with a statement saying 20 hours of prep using its free prep materials results in an average gain of 115 points. Even if OP's kid just did that and scored a 1400, it would make a big difference. She'd go from being under the 25th percentile for UVA to in the middle of the pack. Her GPA is still slightly low (their avg is 4.23), but I think she'd have a fighting chance.[/quote]
