Not sure where everyone is getting off suggesting VCU to a student with no test scores and a 3.3 / 3.4 in no honor classes. If we really are talking about all basic classes -- no APs, no intensfied or honors classes, nothing -- then VCU is definitely not a safety. Also, does the 3.3 /3.4 include As in gym and courses like that? What's the GPA in the actual core classes? How far did the student go in math, science, foreign language, etc.?

I'd look lower than VCU for safeties. ODU, Longwood, Radford, etc.

Yes, but this student is URM.

This is definitely true. My kid not URM.

I’d take a look at Manhattan College for this student.

Wooster of Ohio, farleigh dickinson, Mary Washington, south Caroline, VCU, West Virginia, muhlenburg, goucher, Loyola Baltimore, maybe American if he EDed.
