Let the record show that UVA reject kids with perfect ACTs and only 1 or 2 Bs on their high school transcript.[/quote]

Shocked by this! Are you in-state?[/quote]

UVA really doesn't care as much about SAT/ACT scores, but REALLY cares about GPA and rigor of coursework relative to school offerings.[/quote]

No. As said several times above, and per Dean J who writes their admissions blog, they care much more about the grades obtained in rigorous courses and much less about GPA as it is too hard to compare.[/quote]

This was our understanding too. DC has a 1490 SAT, 33 ACT But didn’t even apply because of his 4.0 weighted GPA. On the tour they mentioned how much they value GPA. He got in everywhere he applied but didn’t apply to very competitive colleges.  Good colleges, but nothing with less than maybe a 40% acceptance rate. [/quote]
