SO don't go to "podunk state". There are many excellent schools, with connected professors at schools in the 25-100/150 range. It's not Harvard, or #500. |
Yes, they added deferral back this year. |
Ummmm, my professors didn't help me at all get a job. I did it myself and life turned out pretty great. Not their job to get your kid a job. |
Ummmmm, I’m sorry your professors were either too insignificant to get you a job or didn’t regard you as worthy of such an effort. Glad it worked out for you anyway. |
I’m embarrassed for you that you think this is a relevant response to what was said. |
DP, but I went to Princeton and my undergraduate advisor had a Nobel prize. I still did my own job search and we got dinner less than a month ago. The insecurities in you are beaming. |
My son was deferred for ED at UVA. He's remaining hopeful because according to the scattergram, he only had a 10% chance of getting in. |
My son was deferred from Gonzaga. 33 ACT, 4.15 GPA, 13 APS, fluent in spanish, took Calc BC as a Junior. We knew it was a reach, according to the scattergram, so being deferred was decent. A little disappointed but not devastated. Your son's SAT score is amazing!! |
I hear you! 4.15, 33 ACT, 13 APs at a rigorous DC high school. DEFERRED. UVA leans heavy on public schools. |
People got in (my kid did) but this thread is such a disaster that I think most people don't want to post. It is a shame the thread went off the rails. It was helpful in the past when ours was figuring out where to apply. I will post just in case the information is useful to others. FCPS 3.9/4.3 GPA 1570 SAT 13 APs (6 senior year) in all core subjects and 5 years of language Average ECs |
it's true. UVA leans heavy on VA public school output; private school students are at a disadvantage for UVA. My son's college couselor told him to apply to Ivys and not UVA because of this. He didn't listen and was deferred. |
My son was deferred as well. I'm also curious how many deferrals were given. |
My kids was accepted from a NOVA private school....I don't think it matters. Our school sends several to UVA every year. 1500, 4.3, 10 APs (all subjects at least 1, 4 years of language), lots of community involvement/EC's. |
Accepted. 4.39 GPA--but 3.95UW, 11 AP by end of senior year, 1510 SAT, leadership, through 5th level of language.
Those with a 4.1 aren't getting it because they rely heavily on transcript and grades. If you have a 4.1 weighted, that's not high enough unweighted for UVA. |
I found that the professors in my SLAC knew nothing about how the real world worked. No wonder so many of my classmates are living hand to mouth 35 years later. Many of them thought I was evil for going to law school. |
