[quote=Anonymous]Did you check the Naviance scattergram for his school? My son's FCPS HS has had exactly 2 kids with weighted GPAs under 4.0 accepted to UVA (and plenty of kids rejected with mid1500s and GPA above 3.5). My son with a 3.9+ GPA and 34 ACT won't bother applying. He is also interested in being a musician, fwiw I don't know if they would treat low grades due to "wanting to be a musician like his uncle" the same way they would treat "low grades due to undiagnosed ADHD/anxiety/depression/learning disability" that has since been addressed. Presumably, he has safer options that match the GPA he had at the end of junior year. Did he apply to any of the UCs? They don't consider freshman year grades and he would have a higher weighted average. There are certainly other schools out there that love high scores and would probably be more likely to overlook the GPA given the strong upward trends. I'm not sure UVA is one of them.[/quote]
