[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Does it make any difference at all (positively or negatively) if my 3.15ish DC is coming from a big 3?  1480 SAT.[/quote]

Yes it makes a difference. Use your school counselor or Naviance to guide you, not the anonymous public. [/quote]

Yes, OP. Don't be discouraged by what you read in this forum. Some people here think a 3.0 student can never be successful in college. Perhaps it's grade inflation in some counties, especially Montgomery County?  It also depends on how rigorous the coursework was. My 3.3/3.4 student with somewhat rigorous coursework (1400 SAT) has done well with his college acceptances. My niece with an identical GPA and no test scores got similar acceptances with some merit aid.

You have gotten good advice from some - Jesuit schools will give merit aid and a great education. If you are in Maryland, Towson, Salisbury, UMBC, and SMCM might all be good options depending on what your child is looking for. The college application process is so up uncertain right now. Do not be discouraged. [/quote]
