[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would be nice to be able to narrow it down a bit at least by size of school or geography, but here are some suggestions based on recent experience with a DS with slighter stronger stats:

Likely yes:
VCU
Longwood
Radford
Mary Washington
U Colorado Boulder
Clemson
Auburn
Miami of Ohio
Drexel

Possibly:
GMU
U Delaware
U Pittsburgh
Purdue

Not likely:
PSU
UMd
JMU
VT
Syracuse

I found the scattergram on the guidance website to be rather useful in gathering datapoints.  The hard realization is that with a 3.2 and 1100, the student is in the bottom half of the graduating class. As a result, DC can get accepted to a stronger OOS school that instate.  But don't be overly concerned -- these kids are well prepared for college (even if they don't get accepted to your first choice college).

I'd be interested in hear other recommendations. [/quote]

Miami of Ohio and Auburn are far more selective than this.[/quote]
Yeah, maybe Miami of Ohio and Auburn should be with the "possibly yes."  College board indicates that 1100 SAT score is on the low end of "middle 50%" of the freshman class.  [/quote]
