NP. I get the outrage. It is hard to deal with the fact that your [b]TJ kid with a 1590[/b] can’t get into your state’s public flagship! It is ludicrous. My non-TJ kid with lower stats has no chance in RD. They are now prepared for the rejection and moving on. [/quote]

It's hard to correlate posts because of anonymity but as I read it, there were two separate posters.

1) one from TJ had "high 1500s" and a 4.3 GPA. 
2) poster with the 1590 SAT just said public HS, > 4.45GPA and did not identify as TJ

[b]As presented, both are fantastic candidates for UVA and I empathize with the shock. My best hopes and wishes that the deferral ultimately evolves into an admit. [/b]I've read on these forums in years past though, that a TJ 4.3 is right on the line and that UVA looks at GPA first, then SAT.

For my kids though, I don't believe they experienced yield management with UVA (GPA 4.6+ and accepted). UVA gets some of the top of TJ because of its price/performance ratio.[/quote]

Another poster, and a UVA alum if that matters, who also is shocked that kids with those stats were not admitted while students with obviously lesser stats were.  And before someone jumps on me I want to point out that kids with lesser stats are NOT in general more "well-rounded" or "less pointy" because that is a stereotypical and invalid cliche.[/quote]
