[quote=Anonymous]Many URMs attend “lower ranked” high schools that do not offer as many AP sections. This is the case of my DC. Their gpa was a 4.4 at ED application time. Admitted to UVA, but would have taken more APs if they had more sections. For example, only two AP Calc BC were offered this year. My kid is a URM, but their friends are not, and a few were admitted with similar gpa and standardized scores. So, yes, often “minorities” are admitted to UVA with lower gpa’s by no fault of their own. Also, standardized test scores are not considered as much as gpa and rigor. [/quote]
