From what I’ve witnessed the parents make a phone call and reach out to someone they know to get their daughter in. Visi➡️GU. It’s done a lot

You should really ask your school for that info.

In the fall of junior year, Holton provides info to parents about the grade distribution and the corresponding schools that girls in each quintile had attended in the past.

For the lowest 20 percentile, the corresponding GPA range in DD’s class was 2.6-3.4. The schools mentioned included: American U, Kenyon, Oberlin, Mount Holyoke, Penn State, Pitzer, Reed. (Frankly, these are fantastic options; it was a positive surprise.)

Tell me you know nothing about the state of college admissions without telling me you know nothing about the state of college admissions.

Richmond? Nope.

NYU? Hell no.

CMU. You're kidding, right?

Clemson? Maybe, but probably not.

I had the same thought about CMU. I am guessing the person who wrote that actually meant CNU (Christopher Newport in VA) not Carnegie Mellon.

Lower ranked? Some of them, ok. But your list includes some T25 top publics or national LACs.

Santa Clara #59 nat’l uni
Wake Forest #59 nat’l uni
Pitt #69 nat’l uni, #32 top publics
Miami of Ohio #143 nat’l uni
Holy Cross #27 nat’l lacs
Ohio State #41 nat’l uni, #15 top publics
Clemson #75 nat’l uni
V Tech #51 nat’l uni, #21 top publics
Tulane #69 nat’l uni
Richmond #22 nat’l lacs
Villanova #57 nat’l uni
American #88 nat’l uni

So far out of the 62 who have posted so far (2/3 of the class), 26 are in the T40 US News National Universities. That's 40% of those who have posted so far. Of the schools listed above (outside of the T40 and mostly high acceptance rates), you can safely say at least some of them are taking the lower 25% of the class. It's a good representation.

Yes but remove U Florida and probably SDSU.

For geographic diversity?

DC area doesn't proivde geographic diversity to UF. No way they're getting in. The UF lady at a different local catholic high school college fair was really discouraging as far as admissions

No, because they’re never getting in.

Where did Trump go? Yeah, that’s where they go.

I don’t know the mean but the Median GPA at visi a year or two ago was a 3.6 or 3.7 I believe.

Well, keep in mind those accounts are independent of the school and many choose not to post. In other words, it’s reasonable to assume that the bottom 25% have heavy overlap with those who don’t post.
