[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the advice so far. I’ll try and answer some of the Qs abt DD. She has no interest in big state Us (otherwise we’d be pushing UVA a lot harder) so her only state school pick is WM which she’s not crazy about but we wanted her to pick one to look at. We took her to our alma maters (UT and Mich) and she had no interest. She did one thing that garnered a bit of national press attention (feel good local story tv story, articles in some national papers and magazines, a small award or two) which she is writing her common app on but other than that her activities are pretty standard. I’m white and DH is Persian (I guess technically also white) so no URM. [/quote]

If the 15,000+ schools are out (UVA, JMU, VT, GMU), that leaves a ton of options like CNU, Longwood, Mary Washington, ODU...and those are more realistic options for her. With her GPA, she is probably just above average in her class, so stop pushing the highly selective schools. Check the scattergrams as mentioned earlier. [/quote]

This post is totally off-base for a 3.8 unweighted. Selective schools are definitely within reach. [/quote]
