[quote=Anonymous]GPA 4.4+, SAT 1560, not sure how many AP classes (but stem classes: physic C, Multivariable Calculus, some post CS AP courses...) 
leadership EC, MIT summer camp with coding. Dream school CMU CS(brutally rejected), UMichigan waitlisted.
Accepted by UMD CS with merit, UVA CS school of Engineering, VT, Purdue CS,  UWashington, Winscon-Madison CS
DS chose UVA beyond my expectations... Well, so far he liked it very much by selecting some business, e-commerce courses, maybe data science courses in the future except the CS focus.

[quote=Anonymous]Im curious on the stats that got a kid into all 3. Mine got into UMD and rejected at UVA and Vt with a 4.6 GPA, top 1% of class, national merit, multiple CS leadership EC, athlete and 12AP classes.  But as for where to go, between those its UMD and UVA. UMD is the "real" CS program but people from UVA do just as well do to connections. UVA is uppity as all hell though so question whether your CS kid will like the country club vibe.  VT is more sporty but the CS program is just mid range. If they love VT, they will still do well post grad but they will not have the curriculum advatange UMD has - UMD is just more cutting edge.[/quote][/quote]
