[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A "3.5ish" does not make her a "shoo in" for any of these colleges. Her other credentials make her competitive, but none of these schools are safeties for a kid from most Fairfax County Public High Schools. [/quote] C'mon. 2012 acceptance rate 70%.[/quote] No, it's much lower. And MUCH lower for NoVA kids. You cannot compare school admittance scores for VA in-state schools and assume that those figures apply to NoVA kids. It's a very unfair system and means that many NoVA kids don't even bother applying to UVA because the competition is too stiff, even though they have all the Naviance grades and scores. The U of VA system wants state-wide, national and international diversity. The NoVA gets get screwed.[/quote]
