[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those whose kids were accepted into UVA, do you feel it was mainly grades/test scores or their involvement in ECs that helped their application? [/quote] For DC, it was grades (not all As but 12 APs, which showed rigor) [u]and[/u] 1500 SAT. ECs were average, 3+2 years in two foreign languages, so no 4 years of same language. Similar stories for DC's close friends (one from same FCPS school, one from TJ). By comparison, another friend with 1550+ SAT, tons of ECs (varsity sport, Eagle Scout, class officer, protest leader covered in WP) but a little lower wGPA was waitlisted and elected to go to UVA Wise. So for FCPS, 4.3 wGPA and 1500+ SAT gets you a decent to good chance, but not a guarantee, in the UVA crapshoot.[/quote]
