What year did your kid graduate and what private school did they attend? BU, NYU, NEU, Tulane, and UMD (I don't know the others well enough) are not happening with that GPA from public school without some sort of hook. Big 3 is a different matter. OP doesn't say where her kid is at school, but most of this list is likely unrealistic, even ED.[/quote]

Lots depends on "other stuff" in that gpa range. If you have taken hard classes (BC Calc, AP Econ, APUSH etc) you have a chance. If you submit 1500+ scores you have a  better chance.  But 3.8 with few APs and test optional, or 13xx? Good luck.

Feel bad for mcps students. Especially several friends I know who literally moved to MC for "a better education"  :lol:  only to find they are facing a cage match with the rest of the inflated grade kids in MoCo just to get into UMd.  That "better education" will serve them well. At Towson.  :lol:
