[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Denied for in-state UVA, VT. Coming from FCPS. Female 720 SAT Math, AP Physics C, AP Chem, AP Calc BC, unweighted 3.8, President Science Honor Society, elected Homecoming Court, 2 Varsity Sports, Employed.

I think it's BS our country wants more female STEM professionals.[/quote]

720 Math is not good.  Something like 20% of asians get higher scores on their math.

+++ my NON stem female child got a 750M (770R) no problem and is at an ivy for history, took BC, APphysC, chem for the challenge of it and got more 5s than 4s on the stem APs. 
For a Stem kid you need the 780-800 Math if you want the ivies/stanford, and yes even UVA in-state would see 720 math as low for engineering. SAT math is a cakewalk for any serious stem student male or female. If it is not, then target much lower schools.
720 is within admit range for VT (engineering math SAT average is around 700-720) so the PP with the 3.8UW from FCPS was not VT range based grades more than that mediocre math SAT.
