<p>highschool had like a 3.4 1200 sat etc all that stuff</p>
<p>college first semester 3.52 made dean's list, 2nd semester is happening right now
im applying to
top4 are instate
James Madison
Virginia Tech
UVA
Willaim/marry
Texas</p>
<p>considering
UCLA
USC
Miami</p>
<p>does making the Dean's List have any greater impact than like if i got a 3.49 (3.5 is the dean's list)</p>
<p>It's more of a "feather in your cap" type of thing. Having a lower GPA in harder coursework is, in my opinion, much more to your advantage. However, if you can keep the GPA above 3.5, I'd say you have a good shot at all the in-state schools, and perhaps USC/Miami.</p>
<p>I can almost guarantee that Texas and UCLA are out-of-reach. These schools admit very few OOS students, so you'd probably need above their avg. GPA, which happens to be about 3.6 for both.</p>
<p>alright thanks
anyone else?</p>
<p>whered you go?</p>
<p>Look into UNC-CH. Its MUCH easier to get into as a transfer than out-of-state first year, and its an amazing school socially even more fun than UVA (I've spent a lit of time at both).</p>
<p>"whered you go?"
smaller school in virginia.. christopher newport</p>
<p>any other opinions?</p>
<p>Univ. of Maryland would let you in. Its better than JMU and VT academically also</p>
<p>cnu 3.52 probably would get into jmu and vt and md</p>
