Is a T20 anyway possible?

DC had a 4.92 wgpa, 4.0 unwgpa from a magnet (1580 SAT; 800 math). Rejected at the T20s they applied to.

T20s are overflowing with 4.0 gpa freshmen. You need a good extracurricular to stand out. Something with state or nationally recognized achievements.

What GPA do you need to get into UVA?

Educational Requirements

Applicants must meet one of the following : 3.0 Cumulative High School GPA (4.0 Scale) High School Class Rank - Top 50% AND a minimum 2.0 cumulative High School GPA. 17 ACT Composite Score or 900 SAT Composite Score (test optional) AND a minimum 2.0 cumulative High School GPA.

That sort of minimum is really only applicable to recruited athletes. If the recruited athlete cannot meet one of those requirements, they cannot go to UVA.

For a non-recruited athlete from northern Virginia, you want probably pretty close to a 4.0 unweighted and 4.4 weighted and probably over 1450 SAT. An impressive extracurricular might reduce those benchmarks but a bad GAP can sink you even if you have a near perfect SAT score (see tj conversations). For whatever it's worth, UVA is a very competitive school now. 2/3 of their applicants are from out of state.

A 1450 SAT sounds below the median. Also, for a competitive major like CS or Engineering, you need to shoot a bit higher. Back when I was there the median e-school SAT was +100 over the college.

1450 is the average. I don't know which average. It is lower for virginia residents.
