[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My B+ student applied to two colleges: JMU and GMU and got into both.  GMU was a lock, but we weren't sure about JMU.  Luckily they got in early action.  Picked JMU and is loving it.  My other child is a much stronger student with almost all As, but because they want to major in CS, there is a chance they will be choosing between the same two colleges.  UVA, VT, and W&M are all possible, but none are guaranteed.  The stronger student will definitely be disappointed if they have the same options as their B+ sibling.  [/quote]

Well, I have an A-/1500+ FCPS kid with lots of APs. They are not getting into UVA and if they get shut out of WM/VT we are going OOS.  Our guidance counselor tried to sell us on JMU, but I am sorry, like hell. My kid has worked to hard to end up there with their classmates who goofed off most of high school.[/quote]

FWIW, my IB diploma student with a 4.6w GPA and 33 ACT did get shut out of UVA but was admitted to VT honors college, which looked amazing. They ended up going OOS for slightly less to a major flagship, but wanted you to know yours has a good shot. (Mine didn’t want to apply to W&M).[/quote]
