[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school grades have become so inflated it’s really hard to say.  A target would be UVa, VaTech, William &Mary or Maryland CP, depending what state you are in.  [b]I think T20 will be unrealistic[/b], but there is no harm applying if your dd understands it is an extreme long shot.  It’s very hard for girls in particular right now.[/quote]
A 3.95 UW gpa is near perfect. They have great SATs and ECs with leadership. If T20 is out of reach for this kid, then it's out of reach for any kid. [/quote]

Yes if you are not a recruited athlete, ist gen, URM or ED, there are many kids who want T20 with similar stats.[/quote]

A few will get in, the vast majority won't. With that GPA and SAT, it will come down to hoping the essay or something about the ECs catches someone's eye. The difference between now and 20 years ago is that used to be Harvard and Princeton, now it's all T20s. That doesn't mean that it isn't worth applying if you are realistic about your chances [/quote]
