[quote=Anonymous]As a UVa alum with a kid at UVa, I generally think that the school's admissions (at least for in-state) are based on almost entirely on numbers, absent some other significant accomplishment/distinguisher. In particular, I think UVa is really looking at grades relative to other students at the same school to admit from the top 8% or so of the class, SAT's are not significantly weighed (if the student has high grades, SATs need to be above a certain floor, like 1300), and essays and activities really don't matter. When you are looking at Naviance, keep in mind that the grades are from end of senior year, which are often much higher than grades when applying due to the relatively large number of AP classes senior year.
