[quote=Anonymous]Also, if your 2.9 can get over 3.0, there's SO MUCH money for students at small LAC and smaller state schools.

My kid with a 3.2 at a parochial school got a TON of money.

West Virginia - automatic 8K with a 3.0.  It's a decent school and they need students.  Super welcoming.

Towson - automatic 10K with a 3.0.  Again, the school has some well regarded programs.

With creative outlooks, you can find inexpensive schools that will give you a college degree for less than 30K a year.  Salisbury is another one.  Not sure where you are, but in DC you get the DC TAG, which is worth 10K at a state school.  Maryland has a bunch of smaller schools.  Virginia has options.  PLENTY of small public schools in PA - we toured but did not apply to Slippery Rock and Shippensburg, both of which are still sending emails saying it's not too late!  Also Duquesne.  Endless emails and kid did not even apply, just toured.

My kid has some learning issues and is easily discouraged.  We built a tour and application list that I knew would boost their self confidence and make them feel good about their choices.

Even below a 3.0 you will have options that will not be crazy.  [/quote]
