[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you!  That what I was afraid of.  Also a full IB at WL.   [/quote]

To be fair, quite a few of his friends - also full IB-candidates with good grades - did get in to UVa.  In general, I think their statistical profile may not have been quite as "good" as my kid's, but I really don't know how the rest of their applications looked.[/quote]

Parents (and kids) need to learn that it isn't entirely about the highest numbers.  Colleges look for those they believe will be good and successful students and also want a diverse student body.  Having the best "statistical profile" doesn't mean acceptance. You're right, PP; you don't know how the rest of your son's friends' application looked - or how the admissions officers perceived them, what they saw in them that made them pick them over other kids who also may have had higher "stats."  And thank goodness.  If colleges only accepted the highest numbers, a lot of kids would never get to go college.
