[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected. 1490 SAT 4.2 GPA. Didn't really expect an acceptance since his GPA is relatively low. But, he wanted to give it a shot.[/quote]
Those are good stats, is he out of state?[/quote]

Those are great stats  but on the edge for UVA from this area. Much harder to get in from OOS and here than the rest of the state. [/quote]

We know another FCPS senior who had similar stats, 6 APs and 2+ generations of UVA legacy who got rejected during EA.  I don't think UVA considers legacy for in-state applicants, but it would have been an indication of demonstrated interest.  However, demonstrated interest for in-state doesn't seem to be a factor at all, given that the lower tuition rates for in-state applicants are very attractive for families with uncertain economic prospects during our COVID-stricken times.

The more surprising thing is that UVA didn't defer the kid or even want to see the kid's mid-year grades, even a legacy kid.

As PP said, UVA filled up much of the class with ED, and now EA.  We just told our own DC, who has similar stats but no hooks, also to expect a rejection in RD.[/quote]

Six APs is low for UVA admits from here. [/quote]

DC is in UVA Engineering EA, NOVA private,  GPA 4.5w (don't know the unweighted nbr) / 1520 SAT / a ton of major-related ECs (3+ years in a row) w international/national competition results + leadership roles in these ECs / a niche sport (all through high school) w national level competitions / paid internship in major-related field.  DC is one generation legacy.  We were somewhat holding our breath given the overall strong NOVA applicant pool.  Very proud and happy for DC.

DC is also in U Mich Engineering EA.  DC's friend from the same school w 4.3W is deferred.  [/quote]

Congratulations! Same situation here!   DC got into Engineering at UMich and UVa.  Ignoring the other admits, these are top two right now.  Which school are you guys leaning towards?  What's your thought process?  Struggling to understand the relative value of UMich over UVA given the additional cost (I'd say about 30K/yr)..  We don't qualify for any need-based aid.[/quote]

Congrats! my DC did aerospace engineering at UVA. I’m happy to answer question [/quote]
