[quote=Anonymous]Okay I'll help because it'll give me the chance to brag.   :lol:

dd is graduating from big box FFX County High School, not TJ, not McLean or Langley, but one of the better ones.

Only one year ahead in math:  8th grade Algebra I honors.  Freshman year all honors classes.  FCPS only allows one AP sophomore year so all honors except regular Chemistry and AP World History.  Junior year AP Lang, US History and Human Geo, rest honors classes.  Senior year AP French, Lit, Comp Gov, AB Calc, the rest honors.  Activities:  Chamber Orchestra (violin) NHS, French, English, Social Studies honor societies.  Unicef and Red Cross clubs.  No leadership positions.  Gov School for French between Junior and Senior years.

Stats:  All A's except a B+ in Algebra I.  4.29 GPA at end of Junior year, higher now, I don't know what it is exactly, but she got all A's through Senior year too.  1440 SAT (760V 680M). SAT II's: 740 US History, 610 French.  BTW the 610 is an excellent score for the non listening foreign language SAT's, it got her out of the language requirement for college.  Of the four AP's she's gotten the results from so far all 5's.

Donut hole family so expensive privates were out of the question.  Looked at Kenyon and Sewanee for the potential for merit aid.  I liked both, but dd preferred either W&M or UVA.

Applied to William and Mary ED and UVA EA.  ED is binding so she was pretty sure that's where she wanted to go, but left the door open for UVA.  UVA doesn't give the EA results until the end of January so it's kind of useless for kids that are weighing options early.  Was accepted to W&M and withdrew her app to UVA.

Final thought:  Go Tribe!  Hope this helps.[/quote]
