[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you have reasonable expectations. All the following below on your list you should consider reaches especially for these Publics if you are OOS especially for CS or Engineering.  The SAT score is common among many applications at these schools and the GPA is honestly a bit low for these schools. Just go into this with your eyes wide open and make sure you have some targets and safeties. None of the below are either. Trust me most of the below schools were on are list as well.  Tough admits.

MIT
Princeton / Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
Georgia Tech
Vanderbilt
Michigan
Texas Austin
UVA

UVA is in-state[/quote]

UVA won’t take a kid that is avoiding AP classes. I would bet money this kid gets rejected from UVA.[/quote]

That is not really an accurate description.

He is not avoiding AP classes.

His transcript includes approximately 10 AP courses across math, computer science, physics, economics, history, and science.

He also has approximately 6 dual enrollment courses in general education and computer science areas such as English, history/government, and technical subjects.

On top of that, he has approximately 5 regular NOVA college math courses beyond the normal AP level, including advanced calculus progression, linear algebra, and differential equations.

So overall, that is roughly:

10 AP courses
6 DE courses
5 additional NOVA college courses[/quote]
