[quote=Anonymous]                                      [quote=Anonymous]Another thing admissions from Va top colleges say unapologetically to we Langley parents and other NoVa parents (whose 3.8 GPA kids have 0 chance of acceptance at UVA and little chance at Tech):  your kids will be fine wherever they go (at JMU or after we send them OOS). So deal with it basically.  Clemson and Pitt, here we come.

My ~3.8 GPA (weighted) NoVa kid got into UVA, Tech, and UNC, among others - no hooks, just a challenging curriculum, an EC he was passionate about, and some good essays. Probably looked like thousands of other kids. Not sure why he got so lucky, but it does happen (and we know several other similarly-situated kids from his school who are also there now). If your kid has his or her heart set on it, don't assume they won't get in because they are from northern VA. [/quote]
Our hs scattergram shows six years of admissions data and exactly 0 students admitted to UVA with a GPA lower than 3.9++.  Glad your experience was different.  [/quote]
