[quote=Anonymous]She won't need a 3.5. There are lots of D3 schools who would take an athlete, and the schools value upward trajectory in grades. Definitely focus on grades this year. I could see her at one of the smaller PA schools like Muhlenberg or Susquehanna, depending on her interests. One of my son's former HS teammates is doing track at Elon, that's also a good option. Ithaca College also has a great D3 athletic program and strengths in music and performing arts, and communications.

Look at D3 with 50% acceptance and above. If she's an athletic recruit, that will help even out the poor GPA.  if you have access to it, look at your school's Naviance or SCOIR, whatever they use. That's a better gauge of what GPA will generally get kids accepted from your school than what the colleges list on their website. Try to get a tutor for the SAT or ACT (would recommend to take a practice test of each and see where she does better) and try to get the score at 1300+ (or 30+ if ACT).

I'd also schedule a meeting with yourself, your DD and the guidance counselor, who could provide good suggestions.[/quote]
