How can there be a trend when everyone has over a 4.0?[/quote]

Read the PP posts here. It's all relative.  For the most part, your DC is competing against the other DCs in their high school. Even if your entire high school ha over 4.0, if your DC has good trends compared to other applicants from your high school, that's good.  UVA has enough data from the schools to figure this out.

Trying to compare applicants in different school systems (Loudoun v. Fairfax v. Arlington) is a mug's game.[/quote]

+1.  Due to grade inflation and APs, the "trend" has shifted upward. Now the entering class at UVA has a 4.51 at the 75th percentile; a 4.38 at the median; and a 4.20 at the bottom 25th percebtile[/quote]

I definitely wouldn’t apply unless you have a 4.3[/quote]

unless hooked perhaps. 4.3+ and in top
6% of class having taken the most rigorous coursework offered[/quote]

Where did the 6% number come from? Are you guessing based on scattergrams or did UVA say this somewhere?[/quote]
