My DC from magnet had 4.9 GPA, 1580 SAT, 10+ AP, all 5s.  Had something like 62 credits going into college.

CS major, cisgender, white male, zero hooks, - rejected at UIUC, and wait listed at Mich.

CS major is very very competitive even for high stats students.  So, unless your DC is a DEI or has some other hook, some of those colleges will be a reach.

Having stated that, [b] I would look at Vtech over UVA.[/b]  My DC was considering VTech but UVA wasn't even on their radar.[/quote]

Except that 80% of all students change their major at least once. UVA is by far the better school for that [/quote]

And honestly the programs are pretty similar in terms of rigor and research opportunities, and the students at UVA will definitely be smarter on average.  I do a lot of hiring and there are some really impressive kids coming out of the UVA CS program.  I’ve been much less impressed with the VT kids.  Wisconsin, UIUC, Michigan are definitely a step up from both though.
