| DC best friend got in. IB diploma. FCPS. Apparently ACT of 29. and close to straight As. Lots of others at school either rejected-- including one legacy - and most others deferred. |
Got to say I'm skeptical of some of these.. |
| Let’s not assume we know the results of the rest of these huge classes. Just because your kid’s friends didn’t get in doesn’t mean no one did. |
| Got in UVA. |
Those are my DC’s stats with 10 AP’s. did not get in. |
A little more than half of instate applicants were rejected according to Dean J. |
| Denied. 1570 SAT. 4.0 UWGPA. 6 APs 1 DE. only 1 AP not STEM. Moved after 10th instate and lost gpa weighting/class ranking. (in at UMD CS direct admit, GMU Honors CS, VCU CS, and deferred at MIT) (Former FCPS, now VB) |
No, they deferred 20 percent and rejected 68 percent. |
| Deferred engineering. In state, 3.98/4.5, 1560, NMSF. 3rd deferral. Cowards...just reject. However, he was a direct admit to UMD CS and honors college. |
Similar as my DS above. Also NMSF and UMD CS but not honors. See you at UMD! |
I was thrilled with the UMD acceptance (nice to be "wanted"). Its about $17k more a year than UVA. Not ridiculous amount. I know merit is limited, but it would be nice if we could get a little. Ohio State and Minnesota were generous. Received likely card from W&M. With the deferrals, we now have 7 RD. Best of luck!! |
| Do they mention Echols Scholars Program in the admissions letter for those that got it? |
What did they apply for? |
You'd choose UMD over W&M? |
For Computer Science it's a real consideration. Of course now your talking $20k/yr more. |
