[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some colleges that might accept a kid who has a 3.8 or higher GPA but has never taken an AP class? I would especially be interested in hearing about VA colleges[/quote]Longwood, Marymount, Mary Washington, Shenandoah[/quote]

Old Dominion. Christopher Newport. Many private colleges...Sweetbriar, Roanoke, Mary Baldwin, Randolph Macon, Hampden Sydney, not sure about University of Richmond.[/quote]

Glad to see OP is getting at least a few helpful posts like this one. So many on here just reflect some people's weird need to tell others "No!" whatever the topic. Not helpful to OP or her kid in any way.

OP, this is why I'd talk to counselors and maybe a private consultant (I was the one who suggested that earlier). I also might try posting on the site collegeconfidential.com. You join and then can post this kind of thing, and be sure to tailor the query to Virginia schools. That site tends to be more helpful and far less snarky and judgmental than some posters are here.

I wonder if some posters are aware that possibly some schools do not offer AP classes at all? Or that a kid could be poorly counseled and told not to take them and then find it's a problem later? Or a kid could have issues like anxiety or whatever that make academics like AP too much? Zero understanding on some of these posts.

OP, you stay positive and keep your kid positive too.[/quote]
