[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to ask your college guidance.

I'm confused by what you mean by "feeder school".  If you're truly at a feeder in the broad sense of the word (i.e. a top high school that performs extremely well across the board with elite colleges) then a 3.8 is undoubtedly a decent GPA and schools like Michigan will admit this kid. [/quote]

Feeder school: sends at least 15% to ivy; or 25%+ to T20+T10lac; or 40%+ to T30.  [/quote]

OP yup about this. We’re in NYC. Kid is a junior and we don’t get access to naviance til next semester. I guess they don’t want people focused on this too early? Not sure. Maybe that’s normal. [/quote]

Is there a reason you can’t wait til next semester which is, after holidays, maybe 6-8 more weeks.[/quote]

any reason she can't post here?[/quote]

Let’s see:

school has a counseling office which meets with juniors about this very issue and has the knowledge and information about: where students feed into, where one with her kid’s stats gets into and where they don’t, how competitive her kid is compared to the student body, the student’s rigor, the support the school provides, the types of letters of rec that will come, the school’s 
Relationship with the admissions officers of other schools,Etc.

To ask a question like this where no one has any “in context” info that OP will have in a few weeks seems to be a futile exercise for OP and the responders[/quote]
