[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused. My current high school student has a 4.0W GPA.  That is with As and Bs.  Does that mean they would be considered or should we not even try?  [/quote]

It [b]really depends on how your kid is positioned relative to the others in their high school.[/b]

At our FCPS high school, a 4.0W GPA probably would be too low for UVA, but probably would be a target for JMU.  This is accounting for the GPA boost that comes with senior year in most cases.

At a school in Abingdon or Irvington and the kid is in the top 5%-10%? Then the chances are better.[/quote]

This is crucial. ask your college counselor about where your child stands in class vis-a-vis the other top students; has she taken the most rigorous courses available?; ask to be shown by Naviance or whatever computer system your high school uses as to where she stands vis-a-vis prior students of that high school who were admitted.. Last year the bottom 25th percentile reported having 4.20 so a 4.00 weighted is bottom of the class, where msny of the hooked kids are.[/quote]
