[quote=Anonymous]Op here,

Thank you all for the inputs.

I have just had the chance to  read through all of the posts.
I will try to go through the answers and more insights.
The senior year 1 st semester grades the colleges got had 5As,  1 B in DE English and 1 C.  He had 4 s in  all the  Stem AP exams and couple of others .. nothing below.

Now,  we see we just applied to pretty much all reaches. As a pp pointed out thinking his SAT will compensate was very wrong, but we also did think his very high rigor with 12 APs in stem classes will help. We thought his essay wasn’t bad. He had passion in a sports, did it all 4 years with leadership and many awards. He picked 2 STEM teachers for his recommendation letters. 
We kept looking at the 4.1 along with all these other elements and thought might be ok 
( definitely not UVA where we knew he needed a 4.4 minimum. They deferred and gave us some hope that he might get in, in some of the others)

Personally I believe all of this is because of  the uw gpa of 3.58; it has starkly stood out.

He has worked very hard and I hope he will get to go where he is meant to be.
We have also applied to Pitt. [/quote]
