[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid will have no problem getting in. It's a 60% admit rate.[/quote]

Using numbers from the 24-25 Common Data set, the in state admit rate was around 47.7%.  It was 59.1% for OOS, and 66.0% for international students.

I know [b]a lot of FCPS kids with 4.0+ GPAs, [/b]decent test scores, community service hours, and solid ECs who got wait-listed or even flat out denied this year.  [/quote]

True, but the context is important: many public schools in Fairfax county as well as other UMC areas of Virginia have GPA distributions such that 60-80% of the senior class has above 4.0W.  4.1-4.3 is a very common median Weighted GPA in our state. Virginia Tech is not as selective as a T20 but it most certainly is selective and does not admit students around the median GPA unless it is an extremely rigorous private or one of the STEM-focused top public magnets, and even then typically one needs to be top third or close. From a typical FCPS school VT takes from the top 20% and UVA from the top 10%. 4.2W is not going to come close. [/quote]
