[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re on FB, there’s a group called something like: College Admissions for Awesomely Average Kids. The group is specifically for kids with under 3.5 weighted GPAs & 1100ish (or less) SAT scores.

Lots of good info on colleges that readily accept kids with these stats. You can search the page for your kid’s GPA to find “results” posts from previous cycles (note: [b]for some schools, like JMU, they admit OOS kids with way lower GPAs than NoVA kids[/b]. So shoot your shot, just something to be aware of)

Any citation for this?  [/quote]

The FB group mentioned. Assuming people on there aren’t lying about their kid’s stats and the parents of WL/not accepted kids I know in NoVA lying about their kids stats, there’s several data points that a kid with a 3.2 weighted from Kentucky has a better shot than an identical student from FFX[/quote]

Speaking of Kentucky…what a state. Uk has like a 3.5 avg gpa and 90% admissions rate, so B students regularly get in. Cool campus and town.[/quote]

Absolutely! I’ve also heard great things about UNM & some other AL schools (I think it’s the one in Huntsville that has a partnership w NASA so has great engineering opportunities). There are loads of schools that offer solid education & unique opportunities, all happy to admit kids with solid B averages [/quote]
