[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the odds are not great. UVA likes to see kids in top 5-10% of graduating class (echoing the other posts regarding the GPA number).  If the 4.3 puts your kid in top 5% then there is a chance.  SAT north of 1500 also would help.  It is true that RD pool will be very competitive given the stats for deferrals (TJ-esque applicants) that have been posted in other threads.

Hope you have plan B in place.  A self motivated student would do just fine no matter where he/she enrolls. [/quote]

[b]Coming out of Covington, VA?  Sure, probably has a shot.[/b]

Coming out of NOVA?  No.  If you read the EA thread, you will see multiple legacy applicants, URMs (legacy and URMs!), strong ECs, etc., with similar or better stats and APs that were outright rejected in the EA round.

UVA decided to feast at the ED and EA smorgasbord, knowing that in-state tuition would give it a heads up in our pandemic-stricken application year.  I don't like it, but I also would have done the same.  UVA spotted a market deficiency and jumped at it.  But it sucks being on the receiving end.[/quote]

I get so tired of hearing this.  Last year 4 students applied to UVA from Allegheny County -- 4! -- and only one got in.  Rural VA is not stealing your kids' spots.[/quote]
