[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, your kid will have no problem getting into

Univ Mary Washington 
VCU
George Mason
Radford

and others.  Just keep that SAT to yourself.  These schools really are test optional.  If the score doesn't help, don't send it.

He's below the mean GPA at GMU so while I think he has a good shot, he's not guaranteed.  Make a good case with the rest of the application.[/quote]

Pp here.  Based on my kids fcps naviance, anyone with a 3.1-3.2 gpa gets into those schools regardless of SAT.  I know them because that's where my kid's gpa is.  Si we have been looking for solid matches.

With a 3.5 gpa, OP's kid is in.[/quote]

That's not the case at our FCPS school.  The Naviance looks like everyone with a 3.7+ gets in and after that it's more variable.  [/quote]

I have a hard time believing that, or perhaps your information is not current.

For VCU, every single person with a 3.0 or better got admitted.  (and a few under 3.0 got admitted too).
For GMU, every person above a 3.0 was admitted (except there were two waitlisted with ultimate admission unknown).

Both VCU and GMU appear to have at least 100 applications.

With UMW, everyone above a 3.0 was admitted (only one by waitlist).

For Radford, a 2.5 and above GPA was sufficient.

With all of these, the stats required a year ago were a little higher (i.e. 3.1 or 3.2).  As a result of Covid, they seem to have shifted down a bit (probably b/c kids' GPAs took a hit last year).

I stand by my statement:

All of these are locks:
VCU
GMU
UMW
RadU[/quote]
