[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you who went to college in the late 90’s early 2000’s, I have news for you. College admissions are a whole new ballgame nowadays. It is many times more competitive to get into top schools. I got into a top 20 (then-now it’s a top 10) school late 90’s with no APs, very average extracurricular, below a 4.0 weighted. No way in heck would I even be able to consider this school as even a far away reach today. UVA is very difficult to get into even in state. Being at a competitive high school makes this even harder because they aren’t just going to fill the classes with mclean, Yorktown, and Langley kids. [/quote] So you went to JHU? What school that was in the top 20 twenty years ago is top 10 today? Anyway, you made my point. US News has UVA in the "most competitive" admissions category. Two dozen Yorktown grads will end up there. Not too shabby.[/quote]
