[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People say UVA isn’t a safety for anyone but when 50 people plus get in from a FCPS school, it sort of is. I had no doubt my child would get in. [/quote]

Most likely even more than 50 kids probably had the stats to get accepted but I assume that UVA (or any state school) probably has a limit on how many from each school can be accepted.  NOVA tends to have the highest stat kids.  So kid #60 from a NOVA school could have probably been admitted if they lived in another county in Virginia.  [/quote]

Yep - so kids in NOVA area basically competing against their school peers rather than kids from the entire in-state pool.  [/quote]

DP. All kids across the state are competing against their own school peers. My kid’s high school in Hampton Roads sends fewer than 10 to UVA, but those that are accepted are just as qualified as anyone from NOVA. (I’m a product of a NOVA high school and a UVA alum, fwiw.) That kid #60 from NOVA could very well be kid #11 down here. [/quote]

Exactly, my kid graduated from a HR HS and the local Governer's School. Virginia has extremely talented kids beyond NOVA.[/quote]
