+1. An A at our high school carries weight like you wouldn’t believe it because it’s extremely difficult to get. But it is a top 10 high school in the country, and UVA is a safety for the stronger students.
GPA alone is irrelevant. Most high schools in the country are not great (not the kids’ or families’ fault by the way).

No need to justify your mediocre kid with lies.

Parents, check the scatterplot for your HS for each college you are considering. Many use Naviance, our county (Loudoun) uses SchoolLinks but it’s the same. If you don’t know how, ask your student or their counselor.

It’s so much more useful than anecdotes from here.
