[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son applied to 9 schools, 3 reaches, 2 targets and 4 safeties.

he got in 7 schools. He got in 2 of his reaches which came as an utter shock, got deferred at one target  and then pulled his application and got in all his safeties. He got substantial money at his safeties. He’s accepted at one of his targets.

His results were very surprising because he is ranked 30% at his NoVA high school and got in both UVA and UF, which is nearly unheard of at those schools. He declined both. He has absolutely no hooks. He does have one unique skill set and wrote killer essays that were extremely risky and very relatable IF someone didn’t toss them after the first few sentences. I think he benefited tremendously from the wholistic review.[/quote]

Congratulations, how do you find out Nova ranking for public?[/quote]

i’m in loudoun and we still have school rank. I thought he was wasting his time with UVA since they consider school rank important. [/quote]
