[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My average kid goes to school in Arlington. 2.9 GPA, some Ds that were brought up to Bs in summer school, gradual improvement over the four years but never stellar. Took three APs junior year, got two 3s and a 4, 33 composite ACT. No meaningful extracurriculars (no leadership roles, etc). Took a class at NOVA last summer and got a B, which counted (weighted) in his GPA and shows as dual enrollment on his transcript. Has gotten into Longwood and Allegheny. Waiting to hear from Mary Washington and ODU. Is likely to defer a year from 4-year residential (but put down a deposit, so won’t have to reapply) and stay home/take classes at NOVA/work, and basically get another year to mature. [/quote] A 33 on the ACT is way above "average" though. Does your child do bare minimum and not turn assignments in? [/quote]
