[quote=Anonymous][quote]Lol....I’m fairly certain meh grades and ECs won’t get a kid into a highly competitive school. [/quote] DCUM's idea of meh grades and ECs is not the same as the rest of the country. Is admission to 1 school in the top 10 and 2 others in the top 25 of DC's interest area good enough for you? The point is to identify schools that are actually a good fit rather than apply to everything that might possibly be of interest. http://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/virginia/university-of-virginia-main-campus/admission/ http://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/maryland/university-of-maryland-college-park/admission/ And let's just say, that looking at the "averages" for these two state schools, an unweighted GPA of 3.5 (this would be the smart child who got a B in PE because of not changing) seemed pretty iffy, but student was accepted to one of these.[/quote]
