[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t bet on it. My kid had a GPA of 4.53 after 1st semester of senior year from TJ with a couple of B’s in AP courses, and got rejected by UVA. Kids with lower grades got in. It’s a myth. [/quote]

I just don’t get this. I hope your kid ended up somewhere amazing! [/quote]

The valedictorian got into UVA, so I don't think they do yield protection or they'd reject that one who is almost certainly going HPY. Maybe something just wasn't great about the application in question. [/quote]

Maybe the kid had a DUI.[/quote]

Nah. NP here. [b]If you are top of the class, but do not have a sob story, and are of a majority group - UVA will not accept you.[/b] I have known very well rounded top applicants first hand, who were rejected at UVA, but accepted at better schools.

No mystery, when you think about it. [/quote]

Not true at all.  DS and several of his friends who are all white, non-hooked top students at their FCPS high school (and with no sob stories) were accepted at UVA for this fall.  [/quote]

Perhaps - but I guarantee THE top went elsewhere - not UVA.[/quote]
