Check out this site. I've set this link to the University of Maryland at College Park as an example. I don't know how representative it is among all state schools. At UMD at least, only 6% if the incoming class had a HS GPS of 3.24 or less whereas 68% had a 3.75 GPA or better. I know Virginia is tough, too. Some state universities can be very selective.
