Many kids get in JMU with a 3.3. Definitely apply.
DP. The 25th percentile at JMU is a 3.62. Very, very few kids will get in with a 3.3.

My Big3 kid was also rejected from Boulder. NOT CS. 33 ACT and 3.2 GPA.

Especially from N. VA much harder to get into because they only take a certain percentage from N. Va because they need to balance out the rest of the state.

Our average child got into UNH engineering - unfortunately, the merit aid was minimal. Also accepted at Quinnipiac with generous merit aid. There are definitely pathways for average kids - they might be schools that aren't on DCUM's list. He didn't apply to Widener, York of PA and West Chester after visiting the campuses - he just didn't feel like they were places he wanted to study. No decision yet - but have faith that there is a school out there.

And I say this as someone who didn't go to a highly rated school myself, but I think it makes way more sense, including financially, to go the cc route and aim for a better college.
Any data or just a random opinion?

That will include people who took non-honors classes and few to no APs.

This will be my kid! I see lots of familiar names. If you're open to the Philadelphia area, toss in St. Joe's, Ursinus, Immaculata, West Chester, many more.

Any particular interest for a major? We have an average kid by this area's standards - went test-optional - 3.35 GPA, Private school (not Big 3). Has an interest in STEM/Engineering. We found schools that are smaller and he was accepted at many of them (Quinnipiac, UMBC etc). I would also recommend reviewing EC's, volunteering, etc and other ways to show what your child's interests are. The College Essay guy has a lot of great worksheets to tease out your child's "values" - it helped define what he wanted to make sure shined in his applications.
