[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]😆😆😆😆 You do realize being white or Asian is both a disadvantage? [/quote]
OP here.

My husband said exactly this (are you him, ha!) and I’ll tell you what I told him.

If you look at all the data that has been released, it’s clear that Asians are at more of a disadvantage than whites. The magnitude varies, but it’s always greater than whites. [/quote]

You're Asian, not white.  Do you think we're idiots?[/quote]
OP here. Why would I post this if I was Asian?[/quote]

Because everybody comes here and lies.

But assuming you're not lying, let me spell it out for you.  A 4.1 weighted GPA is low for these schools.  And you haven't even mentioned the test scores so I'm betting they were low too.  Was she test optional?

There's JMU, VCU, Mary Washington and Mason.  If you knew OOS wasn't feasible she should have applied to them.  Nobody feels sorry for you if she didn't.  Piss poor planning on your part.

But this much is a given:  you can change her name to the whitest sounded name in America and she still ain't getting into these schools.  Nobody rejected her thinking she's Asian.  [/quote]

This. It's not about race.

4.1 is completely out of range for UVA. DS applied with a 4.2 and I knew he wouldn't get in, was a waste of an application.

4.1 is borderline for W&M, depends on the rest of the pieces and much more likely admit in ED, helps to do an interview. My DD with a 4.0 w/3.7 uw (+high test score) was waitlisted with the Spring -start option but in a less popular major (poli sci is popular at W&M).

VT is very unpredictable and some with a 4.1 will get in but the short essays are very influential.

Solid options at 4.1 are JMU, GMU, VCU, UMW. If she didn't apply to any in-state safeties, and you don't have affordable options, she should do a year at NoVA and reapply (and include a real safety).
