[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is a junior. These posts make me feel so nervous and stressed, I can't imagine how I will feel next year this time. Anyway, good luck to all who wishes to go to UVA![/quote]

The message is pretty clear, if your DC wants UVA and is within a reasonable shot stats wise, apply ED and you'll be done in December :)[/quote]

What does "reasonable shots stats wise" mean?[/quote]

If you look at naviance you will see a gpa line.  It’s much higher in some schools than others.  UVA says they are holistic and look at rigor but it seems clear they just want a certain gpa.  So go to an easier high school and take moderate (not the hardest) courses and achieve that gpa.[/quote]

If you really want to play the game move out of NoVA.  Your kid will easily be top 10%, have a high GPA, great scores and be a shoe-in vs staying in NoVa and having things be a total crapshoot with the exact same stats since so many kids have them here.[/quote]

THat's just not true. There are counties in VA that do not send a single kid to UVA.  Going to a weaker school does not increase their chances. If they do they'd certainly have to be one of the top students in the school (like valedictorian).  The bar is much higher from a lower performance or lower populated area.[/quote]

And you base this on what?  Do tell.  [/quote]

If ever there was a call for SCHEV lady.

You can see how many applied/accepted/attended from each county/city on the SCHEV website
