[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define "damn near impossible" - how many in an average graduating class get in from McLean and Langley these days? [/quote] About 10% of each class is accepted usually -- so 50 per class per year (every now and then there's an off year -- numbers were much lower in 2012 or 13) and about a dozen from each school choose to attend UVA each year. To be top 10% of the class at these high schools, you'll need over a 4.0 GPA, plus of course have stellar SAT scores, with loads of APs, be an athlete or musician or write the school play and score that year or be varsity captain of the state champion lacrosse/volleyball/golf team, etc. It's quite sobering to learn that your way above average kid (by most any measure) cannot get into the state flagship school. But most kids figure it out and adjust expectations and find great fit schools beyond UVA. [/quote]
