Let the record show that UVA reject kids with perfect ACTs and only 1 or 2 Bs on their high school transcript.[/quote]

OMG, imagine having those stats and getting rejected by UVA. Kid has amazing other choices and it will all work out but that is just jaw dropping.  I hope it was not first choice.  [/quote]

It was likely as an OOS applicant which I believe would have something to do with it.  Doesn't UVA weight in-state applicants differently?[/quote]

Could be a variety of things. Lack of demonstrated interest, [b]yield protection, [/b]other factors involving course selection or extracurriculars. It’s hard to say. 
My dd has a friend who was shocked by her rejection to UVA, but her 4.0 UW was in regular level classes, random electives and only [b]2 years[/b] of foreign language. [/quote]

UVA doesn't engage in yield protection; it doesn't have to.  You need a 4.44+ if not URM, Low income, etc. to get into UVA even with perfect scores, especially if from NOVA.[/quote]
