Muhlenberg has floated to the top of my kid’s list. 3.23 GPA (no honors/APs). Good extracurriculars. Does she stand a change. EA.

Are you able to pay in full ?

Like many like it, it is cutting budget.

So your ability to pay likely matters and may be the primary driver.

No SAT?

No SAT.

Does the school rank ?

If in the top 50% of the class and don’t require need aid, I’d say a decent shot.

Does your school use Maia or Naviance? If so you can log in and see the GPAs of students in prior years from your kids high school to see if they got into Muhlenberg or not. At my kids school, lots of kids get in there with GPAs of 3.23 or lower - but every school is different.

Thanks! There just aren’t that many applicants from her school so it’s hard to tell. But that’s helpful

A lot of schools at that level and that have financial difficulties are more about an ability to pay x $, moreso than stats. So if you can hit the # $ wise they need you to hit, you likely have an added advantage.
