[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's practically impossible to get in to UVA from NoVA[/b].[/quote] Well, having been through that battle, I think that's just about right unless you went to T.J. Or you must be in top ten percent of your class, have a 4.40+ GPA, ACT of 34 or higher, 10 APs and national awards. 93% of this year's accepted students were top ten percent.[/quote] Why is it impossible to be in the top 10 percent of your class. Heck, one out of every ten kids pull it off. I didn't say it was easy. I didn't say that my own kid managed to do it, but you can't claim it is impossible. Frankly, UVA can't be both "great" as measured by selectivity and "be accessible". The bigger issue is grade inflation that makes it impossible to distinguish good from great and leads to the piling up of AP classes and busy work.[/quote]
