I add the foreign language and APs because of previous threads discussing this topic.[/quote]

Do you mind sharing school name ?

Was his stats in the green area of his schools scattergram if you checked or was this an exception?

He's so positive and I'm the negative Nilly. He's ok with Tech but LOVES UVA, he felt something there while visiting. I'm trying to stay hopeful for him but his GPA isn't where it should be for UVA.

McLean/Langley.  His stats were on the borderline between green and red so we were surprised he got in.

I provide this information to counter the endless posters who say that you need a 4.0 UW GPA, 4 years of foreign language and Calc BC or 12+ APs to get into UVA.

You don't.  DS sure didn't have those qualifications.

But it sure does help!

YMMV this year.  Good luck to everyone![/quote][/quote]
