<p>When it comes to academics, WHAT your child took is as important as the GPA. The rigor of her curriculum will be viewed in the context of what her school offers. So, the degree of difficulty in coursework counts. Did she take the most difficult courses offered at her school? Above average in difficult? Etc. As well, GPA is just an average and the actual grades matter. Also, her class standing will matter. That means class rank or what percentile she is in her class. Do you have that information? Just saying that all of that information will be needed to assess her odds. You also should have her do a practice timed test to get a baseline (if she hasn’t already taken something like the PSATs).</p>
<p>Elon is pretty selective academically, not just the audition.</p>
<p>American University is worth looking into. Not sure if your D could get in as I don’t have enough information as to her qualifications.</p>
