[quote=Anonymous]I got into both W&M and UVA (went to UVA). This was 10 years ago. I grew up in NOVA. Did IB/AP and had a 4.25 GPA. Did well (not great) on SATs. Most of my peers did not get into these same schools. Why??? I have no idea. I had a ton of extracurriculars and honors and awards. That's the only thing I can think of. Guess what? Once at UVA, those students from southern VA and other places but NOVA had considerably worse grades, scores, etc. I am saddened for my own kids that will have to face the facts that NOVA is extremelly competitive. They can't take all of the top students from here. [/quote]
