[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA and WM  are a complete waste of time. I have it on good a good source that nearly every applicant in APS, FCPS, and LCPS gets tossed out the window at UVA at the get go if you aren’t in the top 5% of your class.

VT MAYBE, but the business school only admit 20% and you need to be in above 93% for math SAT. They don’t care much about English scores. [/quote]

WM favors male applicants and strongly favors ED with demonstrated interest. I think OP’s kid has a 50/50 chance or better in ED at WM assuming an interview, full senior year visit on whatever the day is that they set aside for prospective business majors and a strong supplemental essay. But a lot depends on rigor, where the Bs are, ECs, personal statement, recs, etc.  I don’t see it in RD.  If your kid try’s, make sure they know 1st semester senior gradesj will count for a lot.

Can we see the underlying math for how you got 50/50 odds? [/quote]
Don’t be ridiculous. You’re asking opinions from people who for the most part have some insight or experience. Nothing is a mathematical certainty when it comes to college admissions. (and she said “50/50 chance or better”)[/quote]

In other words, made up based on anecdotal data from the poster’s direct experience of maybe a couple of kids.

Well I would definitely base a third of a million dollars worth of investment on a hard analysis like that.[/quote]
