[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has a SAT1580, GPA weighted 4.4, from TJ and has taken 3 APs (none in Chem, Bio, Physics), 4th year of language, no APUSH.  Good ECs. Was considering an ED to UVA, shoud she not apply?[/quote]

Sure she might as well try! Please realize that skipping all the hard AP's that TJ offers means she is at a disadvantage compared to the others applying from TJ. Honestly her SAT hurts some: shows she could have handled all the rigor that TJ offers , but chose not to challenge herself. So many students there have 2 main science AP's  as well as APUSH, and a lot of others.  3 AP's is very low at TJ, considering a huge amount take 1-2 in 10th and 3-4 as a junior. 
4.4W, unless it has shifted significantly in the last 2 yrs, is not likely top 25%. The top GPA is usually 4.66-4.68 and there are dozens above 4.5W. UVA will take unhooked kids below the top quartile from TJ but they are almost always the ones who have taken the max rigor but have slightly lower grades than the top group. Yours has average rigor and above average but not a star GPA, so it is not likely. Does not hurt to try if it is her dream! [/quote]
