[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yay.

DS just got her acceptance!! Unweighted GPA 3.64. Weighted GPA 4.15. SAT 1280 (only took once, submitted scores). Never had any doubts.  :D [/quote]

Yesterday this board had me convinced that my high stats NMSF kid had virtually zero chance of getting into UVA and now this? No wonder applying to college is so stressful. Nobody knows anything!!![/quote]

It’s not about the scores anymore. Schools are wise to the BS tricks that most parents pull. DS knew her SAT was low, but she also only took it once, no coaching, no repeat retakes to game the system like most losers in NOVA. She also didn’t take cupcake classes and capitalize on grade inflation. Coursework was super rigorous in math and science. Had a high school internship with Amazon (Project Kuiper – communications satellite mission operations software). AI/ML SW development for mission operations autonomy. Letter of recommendation from Rajeev Badyal. [/quote]

Omg. Not to take away from your kid’s (DS/her?) accomplishments— s/hesounds very talented and smart. But why generalize about most nova kids?[/quote]
