[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are different enough that one probably "fits" your student better, and your student will seem like a better fit from the AO perspective. EDing to that one (as opposed to trying to figure out which of the two has "more likely" ED stats) will likely yield a better outcome for your student.[/quote]

THIS.  They are both great schools, but not interchangeable.  My current WM (post-COVID) junior got in with a 4.1W and 35 ACT out of FCPS by going ED.  She was an amazing fit for WM for multiple reasons, including best in her high school strength in foreign languages and history/government/econ.  Very pointy and applied for IR and languages, which is WM’s strength (and a path she has followed at WM very successfully) .  But GPA for white girl in NOVA was 25%.  UVA never would have looked at her. [/quote]

+1 [b]WM seems more interested in finding the kids who really want to be there. [/b]UVA, at least in our naviance stats, has more of a hard cutoff on GPA.[/quote]

THIS!  “Who comes here belongs here”. WM moto and they live this. [/quote]

I always thought the bigger meaning of that was to be welcome everyone who comes and treat them like they belong as much as anyone else.[/quote]

Your take is better. People are weird about this![/quote]
