[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget rankings and prestige, which college do you think is best overall that a normal super smart kid could have a shot at? Assume full pay.[/quote]

UVA, UCB, UMich, UNC are the top academic “attainable” schools that are not difficult to get into if you are a state resident AND are super smart(ie 1500+ and top 5-10% of your high school while taking the hard classes)[/quote]

Well, to be fair for UVA, you also need a 4.5 gpa, 35 ACT, be in top 6% of class, have taken the most rigorous courses offered by the high school, and have extraordinary ECs. That's what SCHEV reports for the 75th percentile on incoming students last year (unless URM or first generation or otherwise hooked)[/quote]

Has UVA been known to taken any with about 4.1 GPA? [/quote]

of course. URM, first generation, legacies when they did legacies, pell grant, low income, native american, athlete, rare instrument the orchestra needs, national prize winners, ... just like every other school that searches for hooked applicants[/quote]
