[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well my kid who got a 1580, had a 4.4 weighted gpa and has a 145 IQ didn’t get into VT or UVA. But he got in elsewhere and is loving it. Apply wisely with good safeties and a range of targets. Reaches are unlikely.[/quote] 4.4 Weighted is only a little above average at multiple schools we know. Which would be why your kid did not get in: they either did not take enough AP/DE(A is 5 and A+ can be 5.3-5.5 points) so their rigor was a red flag, or they did not put the time in and had a bunch of Bs in those hardest classes. Or, they had bad LOR. 1580 should easily be able to have near 5.0 or above—ie in the top 20% of the grade —even at a competitive school like Governors . [/quote] You know many schools don't have A+ right?[/quote]
