[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bringing this thread back around to the 31 on the ACT - what kind of schools are open to a public school kid who gets a 31 on the ACT but has an unweighted GPA of 3.1 ?  (weighted is 3.35).  Will have 5 AP courses and numerous other honors courses.

Which state? MD? [/quote]

DC.  Strong preference for public schools, within 1,000 miles of DC.[/quote]

Look at Colleges That Change Lives schools.  Most if not all of them award merit aid to students like this.[/quote]

I think 3.1/3.35 GPA is problematic. Which courses are weighted? Honors and AP/IBs or just AP/IBs?? [/quote]

I think this GPA could be problematic, too. My DC with a 30 ACT received significant merit aid at several of the Colleges that Change Lives schools, enough to bring the cost near and even below what we would have paid at our state flagship. But DC also had an unweighted/weighted GPA of 3.7/4.0, 9 AP classes (5 of them before senior year, so with known AP test scores, 4 5s and 1 4), very good extracurriculars, and excellent recommendations. Not sure how the calculus changes with a 3.1/3.35 GPA.[/quote]
