[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

Trying to gather some anecdata. Has anyone's DC had good or surprisingly good results in RD for a male student with a low-ish GPA and a high-ish SAT and solid ECs? We're trying to figure out what's possible.

Tiny private school so scoir data feels unhelpful.
GPA: uw 3.7-ish, weighted 4.1-ish, good rigor. no grades ever below B+. 
SAT: 1510
ECs: 3-season varsity athlete (not a captain), senior leader on newspaper, some other school leadership, community service
Major: Poli sci or History
Interested in mid-sized campuses, urban or suburban (not rural).
Male
Good references from math/humanities teachers.
Interested primarily in East Coast or West Coast because of family.
Good writer so essays will be strong.[/quote]

That profile at our private k-12 is slightly above the 50th%ile weighted and UW gpa, and roughly 10-15% of the seniors get that SAT. IF they took the very highest rigor and did ED they might get in to UVA but likely would not. VT would be a more likely admit, with UC-Irvine, UCSB, BU, NCSU, UGA all likely to admit (over 50%) chance. 
BC would be "match" range with ED (50/50 odds), same with Northeastern. 
No chance at any T25 [b]besides UVA in state. [/b]
JMU, Auburn, Alabama would be a safety from our school. 
(Well regarded private: students in the top25% based on SCOIR and the profile are accepted to in state UVA EA (or ED) 75% of the time, those in top 10% over 95% of the time. [/quote]

No, SCHEV is clear you need a 4.4 for median at UVA and 4.5 for 75th percentile. The 1510, though, is spot-on[/quote]
