Didn't think the TJ kid will say yes in the end. Many don't.

It was ED, that wouldn't apply.

That may be true but don’t think that there aren’t students admitted to UVA that don’t have the 1500+ scores to go along with the grades (and AP scores too). My kid being one albeit at a different high FARMS school in Nova.

Yes, absolutely. I was focused on UVA but yes.

Do UVA care about EC’s or is it just just GPA?

Say it with me: sustained performance in the classroom. That’s what Dean J repeatedly says is the most important factor.

This. Regarding ECs, I would add leadership roles in ECs are important too. President of school clubs weighs less than say, assistant manager at a job they have held for a few years.

?? ED = early decision. Not early action. Would’ve been committed to UVA.

They claim not to care about yield but honestly they should be admitting almost half of TJ.

Sort of. It's also harder to get the rigor at the small pond.

There is enough UVA-level-rigor in the small ponds.
