[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gpa is on the low side for UVA for sure and maybe W&M unless it’s a boy. Definitely apply ED If interested in either. You could do UVA first and if they don’t get in, could do ED2 at W&M.

Lowest GPA accepted to UVA from our Va public was 4.40.[/quote]

Just saw that it is a boy so good chance for W&M. Also I will confess to not knowing much about the Ib so check your schools
Naviance to see how the GPA stacks up against accepted students.[/quote]

How could the GPA be low if the kid only has had 2 B pluses? [/quote]

That’s the gpa the school gives. 2 AP courses in 10th. 6 IB courses in 11th. Will take 7 IB in 12th. How on earth do people get 4.4s? [/quote]

Probably all honors starting in 7th grade Algebra, 3 IB in 10th, 7 IB in 11th. 
My kid is also at an IB high school, and our Naviance shows several 4.3s for UVA, but nothing below that, and the higher test scores do not make up for a lower GPA. There is a hard gpa line on the graph.
For WM, 4.25 is a good gpa, and the test score helps. [/quote]

My DS with those exact scores got in ED at W&M.  He would have applied to UVA also (preferred W&M) but didn't because ED was successful. Naviance in his school had virtually no admits under 4.4 for UVA.  You could get in with 4.4 GPA and 1250 SAT, but you couldn't get in with 4.2 and 1500 SAT.  W&M seemed to balance GPA and SAT.
