[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key to UVA is to do well (most As) in all five core classes all four years. Testing helps but they are truly test optional. Be in the top part of your class. After that bar is met, then they are holistic. So leadership, deep involvement in any ECs, and solid essays/recs. Seems ED helped this year due to the sheer volume that occured with no supplemental essays. Will be interesting to see if that remains the case. [/quote]

All this sounds on point. I would add if your SAT score is within the admitted range pre 2019, then submit it.

My kid was admitted with a 1440 ED with all the other points made by PP. She did not have a spike, nor a clear involvement in her listed major (which she ended up changing anyway!). ECs were pretty regular for NOVA: two varsity sports (all 4 years- captain), club sport, coached the sport in rec league, summer lifeguard. No research, no passion project, no internship, no major school club involvement, besides an honor society or two. She’s just a regular well-rounded smart kid[/quote]
