[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know a number of in-state kids who did not get into UVA with similar stats.  I probably wouldn't submit a 1420.  With test-optional, only students with high scores are going to submit.  So a 1420 will be comparatively lower than previous years.

If looking for STEM, check out VA Tech.  Would stand a much better chance of getting in there.  Good luck![/quote]

Virginia Tech is fine in engineering and CS, but not sure the rest of STEM is at the same level.  Much broader engineering program than UVA.    Taking CS outside of engineering leaves more latitude to take other courses that may be interesting and beneficial.  That said, applying to UVA engineering as a female may help a bit with admission chances.  Engineering programs generally are looking for more gender balance.  Although UVA's admission rate OOS is substantially lower than in-state, SAT scores are not that much higher.  1420 is a fine score, but ideally should be somewhat higher for someone with no hooks.

Good luck.  It is all a bit of a crap shoot, but unless you are talking about absolute top level schools, the outcomes probably won't be that different between the schools where she will be accepted.  As the PP indicated, applying to VT as well as UVA wouldn't be a bad idea, and I'd suggest looking at W&M as well if looking at STEM outside of engineering.  [/quote]
