Back on CC after 4 year, this time with my youngest. We are from VA and looking for Business Undergrad Programs and of course maximizing merit. Our goal as with our first was to get in-state or better. Stats for my youngest are:

Class of 2025
Weighted GPA 4.23
Class rank - our school district no longer reports
SAT - 1330
Not NMF
Hispanic
AP’s - 5
Business related elective all 4 years of HS
EC - 4 years travel volleyball, summer work, pet sitting, some volunteer hrs

Size/location doesn’t really matter but East coast is more reasonable. Schools applying to so far: In state-JMU, George Mason, and VA Tech; OOS-U of So Carolina, Delaware, Arizona and ASU, FSU, Rhode Island,

Looking for schools to maximize her chances for merit and that offer good business undergrad programs. Mainly wanting to make sure Im not missing any good options especially relatively near to us.

If you read this far, thank you!!!

PS: Our oldest went to U of A (Arizona), had a change of heart and transferred from Microbiology to the Eller College of Management (Marketing Major). I cannot say enough great things about the program and all the opportunities available to the students there! Has landed phenomenal summer internships, studied abroad, and is on her way to LA this weekend with the Stars in Marketing Club. Eller Rocks - for anyone considering it. The only bummer is that U of A considerably reduced their merit aid for OOS students and that is why we are looking at other options. Our oldest received almost full tuition but now the cap is at $22K…
