[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP (assuming you are not a troll but new to the college admission process), have you reviewed your DD's scores and GPA on her high school's Naviance program to see where she actually fits into these six schools?  Your child has to have a very high GPA and test scores to get into UVA from NOVA - she has to be in the top ten percent of her class, at a minimum.  Does she have a weighted 4.48 or more?  the median 75th percentile of the entering class (entering class statistics are lower than accepted stats because a number of the UVA applicants, like you, use UVA as a safety) had a 4.48 last fall, meaning, 12.5% had GPAs in excess of 4.48.  SAT is a 1480 and ACT is a 34 for 75th percentile.  Plus your DD will be competing against her own high school classmates for slots.  If a great number of students are applying from her high school, that further lessens her chances of getting into UVA.  http://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp.  Does she have a particular interest or field of study?[/quote]
