| Thought it would be next week. |

DS is in!!!
NoVA, SAT:1490, GPA: 4.3, strong in Math |

CC reports UVA had over 40,000 applications just for EA. Wow. "This year’s application process was intensely competitive, with more than 40,000 students applying for just 3,750"
|
| Lots of in-state deferrals -1580 SAT |
| I'm reading over the stats posted on cc. Seems almost as if 35 ACT is the cut-off. GPAs weighted are all extraordinarily high. Internationals are in. Legacies are not. |
What the actual what? |
It’s hard to tell about what’s going on from just a score. UVA (like most schools) will compare kids to the applicant pool of their high school. This kid may not have taken the most rigorous course schedule, got “easy” A’s, blah, blah, blah. |
| They have always said rigor and grades count much more than SAT and ACT. |
DS is also in at UVA Nova, SAT: 870, GPA: 2.6. Signed National Letter of Intent on Dec 19th 2018 |
Is this a joke? |
Football player. |
| Wow, a third generation legacy with a 1560 SAT and a weighted 4.3, science olympiad, 6 IB classes, etc. was deferred. |
You need to read college confidential for acceptances, deferrals and denials. The kids all have amazing GPAs (4.7), perfect scores, perfect SAT II scores, ten to sixteen AP classes. There's no way my kid who is a junior would get in today. And over 40,000 EA applications! I looked up her early action class from 2 1/2 years ago - 16,768 (this would be for the class of 2020). https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-virginia/2123281-uva-early-action-decisions-only-class-of-2023-p2.html |
