<p>^ I hope your D does get cut some slack, but she NEEDS to have a safety. Your in-state flagship works if they guarantee admissions and she qualifies, otherwise it would be a low match because F’s raise eyebrows. What’s the correlated average GPA for SATs in the high 600s? Probably higher than 2.9, methinks. She needs a safety that she is at least willing to attend with <2.9 average GPA. She might not be happy at any of those schools, in which case, apply to the best local CC with well-laid transfer plans.</p>
