This is your answer. Second option GWU. [/quote]

Disagree.  W&M takes top students, not "average" (OPs own assertion).  Last year's incoming class at the 75th percentile (where you should be if not hooked) had a 1520, a 34 and a weighted GPA of 4.53.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Last year from my kid’s FCPS HS (which DCUM would regard as lower-tier) t[b]he average weighted gpa was 4.3 and the average test score was 1380[/b] for W&M accepted kids (and there were a LOT of them).  Those are good students but not what DCUM would call “top students” I am sure.[/quote]

Ok that's not a good high school. Too much grade inflation.
Im sorry.[/quote]

WTF are you babbling about? Did you see what I was replying to? The PP said the incoming class at W&M had a 75th percentile gpa of 4.53. And, as it happens, the median gpa is 4.36, which is exactly the average weighted gpa of the kids who got into W&M from my kid's HS.

My kid's HS is exactly in line with what you'd expect from W&M admissions stats. If my kid's HS is "not good" because it has "too much grade inflation" then [i]every single high school from which W&M accepted kids last year [/i]is also "not good" and has "too much grade inflation".
