She was an UMC white girl with no hooks, average excurriculars, a weighted GPA of just over a 4.0 (9 or 10 APs with plenty of Bs) and had a superscored SAT no higher than the mid-1200s. Granted, she got in off the waitlist, but still, I’m sure she wouldn’t have a prayer today.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, she ended up doing just fine academically, has lots of good memories, made some good friends that she still keeps in touch with and is happy enough that she went there, but all in all she wasn’t blown away by the experience. Her older sister feels exactly the same way.

Do go away, this is 2022. Your children’s experiences are 100% irrelevant.

Look, I said upfront that my daughter wouldn’t get in today. And judging from the other response I got to this thread my daughter’s experience there still IS relevant and not that different.

I hope your kid doesn’t get in.

I'm not the pp. Your post about your daughter getting in 10 years ago was not helpful at all. It makes people feel bad.

I said I was giving perspective. My goal wasn’t to make people feel either bad or good. I don’t really care what you think. I also wanted to let folks know that UVA isn’t the greatest place in the world regardless and that their kids will survive if they don’t get in.

It's apparent that you are immature and a poor communicator. As other's have said, you offered nothing to this thread including perspective...no place is perfect and of course their kids will survive if they don't get in.

I don’t understand all of the venom.

Right now, can we keep the thread focused on ED results, not past disagreements and slights?

Deferred, in state, GPA 4.38, 1510 SAT. No sports, 2 ECs, including mentoring.

Disappointed for sure, but has 2 other acceptances already, so will get over this. Not sure how RD will pan out.

Sorry to hear! The GPA is high,but yeah, UVA like sustained involvement as well (robotics, Model UN, band, sports—whatever).

I'm sorry to hear it. Which college within UVA?

Arts & Sciences.

Wow! I would have thought that profile was an admit.

If I had to guess I’d say it’s the GPA. At our nova hs, the gpa cut off even for ED was about a 4.4.

I don't know. I thought it was interesting to see how much the admissions landscape has changed in 10 years,

Thanks. I don’t think I deserved that.

Shocking, but UVA does look at more than GPA and test scores.

No, Economics.

Do folks really expect this thread to immediately fill up with reports of admits and denies? It’s not College Confidential.

High school grade inflation is way out of hand. It gives too many students false hopes of easy entry into top schools.

He has a fighting chance. My DS got in last year with a 1480. But all his friends have different SAT scores or GPA. UVA definitely is looking for a certain type of student that isn’t just numbers. Good luck!

I agree he has a good chance, but yes so much more goes into it. Good luck and update us!

He got in!!! Thank you DCUM he is thrilled
