[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone get into W and M with a 3.9 good test scores, no sports that matter? Thanks[/quote]

That will depend on your school's Naviance record (it's more difficult to get in the W&M, UVA, GMu, etc. from the NOVA schools, etc.) but i just googled W&M and GPA and got this astonishing fact.  "The average GPA at William and Mary is 4.19. This makes William and Mary Extremely Competitive for GPAs. With a GPA of 4.19, William and Mary requires you to be at the top of your class. You'll need nearly straight A's in all your classes to compete with other applicants."   GMU's now is 3.66 and creeping upwards.  Quite a few students in my DS's class did not get into GMU this time around.  I also just received UVA's figures for the incoming class (another child is there).  UVA received 4600 more applicants this year than last.  Average ACT was 31-34 ("average"!!!!!!!) for a total of over 40,000 applications.  Both of my children are in-state.  I think what we may be seeing is a huge shift to in-state schools for those in VA and who can get in.  I also understand the same is true for the California system but that the legislature recently voted to reserved 80% of the seats in the UC system for California residents.  UVA has been doing the reverse (taking 40%++ OOS students and growing, plus internationals). This will be interesting to watch as private school expenses break $70K a year.[/quote]
