[quote=Anonymous]The best way to figure this out is to check your school’s scattergrams in Naviance and use the “Compare Me” feature. The scattergrams show where your student falls compared to other applicants from the school and the Compare Me will give you a number of how many applied and were accepted. This was very accurate for our kids. Our Naviance showed that over 4.5 was the sweet spot. There were some denials over a 4.5, but those were outliers. You’re mostly competing against students at your own school, not across NOVA. AP and IB classes are the same everywhere. UVA is still pulling from the top of each school’s applicant pool, and there are strong students at every school. Also, “lower performing” schools usually aren’t that way because of weaker teachers or curriculum—it’s about demographics and resources. Our kids went to a public IB school that people often dismiss, took rigorous classes, did sports and clubs, and all went on to great colleges. [/quote]
