[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly average students. 3.0-3.5 UW GPA, 1200-1300 SAT, regular EC like casual sports or a job. Motivated but not a striver. What 4 yr colleges do these type of kids attend and find success after attending dmv catholic hs?[/quote] First there is a huge difference between a 3.0 and a 3.5 UW in HS. My 1240/3.5UW/no AP kid landed at a school ranked in the 80s. Had merit there (and another very similar school) that gave us 35% of tuition each year. Same kid got into all the big State U (mostly OOS) that were similarly ranked as well (in the 60-100 range). But a kid who can only manage a 3.0UW in HS (unless they are taking mostly all APs) might want to look at schools in the 80-140+ range. Because even at the 80 schools, my kid was about 50th percentile. So a 3.0 would put them in the 20-30%, so most kids will be "more academic" than them. [/quote]
