<p>@coffeehouse, this is very enlightening. I kind of figured that we won’t probably be able to “wow them” with her scores, but we’re going to at least try to get her in the mid 500’s range. I think showing early interest may be a good idea and visit this summer. A personal interview with her would actually “wow them” though --she really is just a lovely girl and I think an in person interview would be in her favor. thanks for your help!</p>
<p>@Kat, yes she’s in VA! JMU’s avg. was 3.8 gpa this year though, so I have it on her list as a big reach. It’s one of the Venture Scholar schools on our list, but I will definitely look into this other program --haven’t heard of that one yet!</p>
<p>@Happymom, thanks! Will look at this one too.</p>
