[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not too late, but he needs to get moving quickly to submit in-state VA applications to meet most of the upcoming standard admission deadlines.  Longwood is not a bad choice at all with his profile--average GPA is 3.2.  It is a nice, small school (under 5,000 undergraduates).  Radford is also a good safety school if he prefers a mid-size school (9,500 plus undergrads); GPA at Radford is around 2.8-3.0 range.  Mary Washington is a very nice, small school and would be a reach school for him, but still within reason (avg GPA around 3.5).  CNU and JMU have  become extremely competitive for high school applicants from NOVA; requiring a 3.7-3.8 GPA range compared to the other in state VA schools mentioned in the thread.  ODU is also likely a good safety if he wants a larger school.  I would not even consider having him apply to UVA, W&M, or VA Tech as they are way out of reach with his GPA/SAT profile.  It's nice of you to try to help out the family.   I'm sure he'll eventually find a good fit.  If possible, he should limit his list to 6-8 schools.  Good luck to him![/quote]

VT is nowhere near as selective as UVA/WM and does not belong with them in any discussion of college admissions. George Mason is more selective that VT...[/quote]
