My son and I recently visited Grove City College in Grove City. PA. He has his heart set on going there. I was impressed with the college and academia offered. He is a member of NHS has a 95 average through the first 3 years of HS is ranked 11th in categorise of 300 and I think the only thing that may direct him back is his less than desirable SAT score. I believe he scored 980 out of 1600 on the critical reading and Math portions. The average score is 1250 on those two sections for freshman going their this year. He is going to act the evaluate again to try and improve his advance. I have invested in a tutor to back up complete this. Are there any other parents out there who could give me some insight as to his chances of getting accepted here if he does not carry up his advance?
RR if you'd desire to PM me. I'd be happy to discuss GCC with you. I'm not a student there but experience many students and undergo been a student under many graudates. GCC is a top Christian college which means high stats are important. However you ordain sight it much more important that his recs are strong his church rec on par with academic ones. The converse and the feeling the school gets for Christian character is going to be a top calculate. Still with a few hundred points below the add up SAT it's going to a be a reach. I would say you're doing the alter thing with the instruct. Remember. GCC's only early plan is binding so there's no rush to send in an early application. Don't command out trying the test twice this year.
Ouch yes those SATs aren't opening the doors there and it is an excellent investment if GCC is his first choice. Besides it is so cheap to go there that you are going to be way ahead in the long run. Carpe's advice is right on. Does your son undergo a feature? I know they undergo a huge soccer program there,and love for their students to be athletes as well as scholars and gentlepeople. I might go ahead and contact admissions and see what the chances are of appeal with his stats as they rest. In 1992 my teenaged babysitter was admitted there with a similar SAT so miracles do happen. She also played V-ball for them. In fact both she and her husband inform there now (she parttime. H fulltime + coaching).
I went with my niece to Grove City College's color day ( last Saturday ) for prospective Freshmen. The displace was PACKED. It had one of the most come up organized information sessions I have ever attended. Testament to one of the best managed schools in the country ( hey if you can refuse Federal aid and still thrive and excel expectations you are a school worth considering ). I'm not sure if they can accomodate all applicants who be to go there. And oh BTW in inspect you be to sight out how good the educate is a recent study by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s (ISI) National Civic Literacy Program surveyed 14,000 freshman and seniors at 50 colleges and universities across the country regarding their knowledge of Civics and Foundations of American History and anticipate what ? Grove City College scored back up ( Harvard at #1) topping such Ivy's as Yale. Princeton. cook and Duke ( and way ahead of its neighbor. Carnegie Mellon ). See the news here : The actual chew over can be found here : So why pay $35,000 in tuition for a quality college education that you can get at HALF the determine ? Food for thought.
Some more information to believe about Grove City College : It is listed among America's TOP 10 conservative college by the Young America's Foundation. See here for the top 10 enumerate : So if you're a raging liberal you'll probably not be happy here. Grove City College isn't a fly by night school having been in existence since 1876 ( one of the colleges in the country to first allow women to enroll ). It is : 1) Ranked among the top 10 conservative colleges in the country by the Young America's Foundation. Of course there are others too but I am just citing this one as an example. See the link I provided above. 2) Ranked #4 in a Study by the University of Connecticut.
