[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Word is UVA is all about GPA. If you don't have that, end of story. The holistic stuff comes after you make that cut. That is their reputation.[/quote]

Color me slow, but what is this magic GPA?[/quote]

North of about 4.35 weighted. Maybe 4.4.[/quote]

Multiple FCPS HS for instance have a naviance profile that shows a fairly straight green line of checks that starts somewhere between 4.3-4.4 GPA.  To the PP who mentioned that Naviance is just self-report, that's not always quite true.  At our FCPS HS the counselors track this down and input unless kids opt out. The amount of data points seems to align pretty well with the size of the graduating classes who have likely applied to the various schools.  For ones where they know the kid applied (they have that info through the application process) but don't know the outcome, there's a ? mark.[/quote]

Agreed for LCPS on all points. Last year the GPA “cut off” was in the 4.4 range.[/quote]
