[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA probably doesn’t have a quota, but they do have high standards. Unless something were to dramatically shift a school’s underlying demographics, it’s probably fair to say that about the same percent each year will meet UVA’s standards. What are those standards? As another poster mentioned, it’s roughly top 5% of class, 33+ ACT, 1450+ SAT, 8+ AP classes, and 4.35+ GPA (recently this has been inflated due to COVID grades). If a school has 500 kids, 5% is 25 kids. That’s about the number that get admitted. [/quote]

A previous poster mentioned that FCPS has approximately a 30% acceptance rate. Way more than 5. [/quote]

They mean that the top 5% is about 25 kids. The top 5% being a typical line in the sand between getting into UVA and not getting in within NOVA schools.[/quote]

You’re assuming that the entire top 5% of the class applies to UVA, which is definitely not the case anywhere.[/quote]

THIS ^^.  The top 5% are applying to Ivies +.  [/quote]

Not in my kids school. [b]Why is it so hard to understand that your worldview is NOT everyone elses? [/b] I posted that my kid was top 2%. He did byo apply to ivies as he wouldn’t have gotten in. The top ranked kid got into an Ivy but chose a lesser school for a full ride. The number 2 kid went to UVA. My DS was number 6, he’s at UVA. No one else in the top ten went anywhere better than UVA, in fact come to think of it most of them did go to UVA or chose a full ride at a lesser program. [b]Your world is not everyone else’s.[/b] This is in Loudoun.  [/quote]

Oh, the irony.  [/quote]
