<p>Is her GPA weighted or unweighted? According to the schools’ common data sets, 6 percent of entering freshmen had GPAs under 3.5 at W & M, and 4 percent were under that number at UVA. If her weighted GPA is higher and if she’s had a rigorous curriculum that will help, as will instate status, URM status, possible involvement in particular ECs, etc.</p>

<p>You’re fortunate in being from VA, which has such an excellent instate system. University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg is quite similar in feel to W & M, but less selective. Would your d like a large school setting? James Madison University might be for her (29 percent of entering freshmen had hs GPAs under 3.5). What does your d want to study?</p>
