[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and you have to get all A’s in these classes.

And a 34+/1500+

And awesome EC’s.

Good luck. No pressure.[/quote]

This is just not true.  Stop the BS.[/quote]

They are not lying. Go look at the SCHEV report. Last year's inciming class reported a 34 at the 75th percentile: 33 at the median. SAT scores were 1510 at the 75th percentile; 1470 at the median. GPA is 4.51 at the 75th percentile.

If unhooked, your student should be aiming for 75th percentile or higher, especially if from NOVA, where where is the most competition is from.

also top 6% of class

also national awards.

also many top ECs.

Go to Reddit or College Confidential and look at the stats of applicants who were waitlisted or denied[/quote]

Again, this is all school/region specific.

It is definitely harder to get in from NOVA than from the Tidewater or Bristol areas, no doubt about it.

Your DC's competition for UVA (and most schools) is not those folks, but the other DCs in their HS.

But you do not need all As, and 1600 SAT to get in.

My DC is a first year at CAS.  They had 4.3 wGPA (with 3 Bs) at their FCPS high school, 1500 SAT, 5 years of foreign language (3 in one including middle school + 2 of another, no AP), "only" APES for science, "only" Calc AB and Stats for math, AP Lang, and 8 APs in social sciences, and average ECs, no awards.

And we are Asian (with an Asian name, so no hiding it).

I post this to give hope to those with DCs who have "blemished" credentials.  Your DC can make it. But it is definitely not guaranteed at all. DC got in last year.   Would DC get in this year?  Who knows?  That's the mystery/frustration of this process.

Glad we're done with this.

Good luck to y'all.[/quote]
