[quote=Anonymous]If UVA defers lots of ED applicants, then apply ED. Otherwise, apply RD. Do you have an explanation of the “lower” GPA? Is there an upward trend? My kid has similar issues. He got a deliberate condition and voluntarily chose mostly standard classes in the first couple of years, but his course loads for junior and senior years are very rigorous (10 mostly core AP classes total). He has 4.0 uwGPA, but his wGPA has a sharp upward trend. He was deferred ED by a top 15 (reach) college, but already got into a few in the 20-40 range. He also applied to a handful of other top 15 (all reach) in the RD. With his good mid-year grades (all As), I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up getting into at least one reach school (possibly the deferred ED one) in late March. But he’s very happy with his top choice among the offers so far and is preparing as if he’s attending that school next year. I’m very happy for him![/quote]
