No one waitlists for early decision. The term you’re thinking of is deferral which means the application is considered with the regular decision applicants.

UVa only accepts or rejects for ED. No deferrals.


So obnoxious and funny that you are wrong.

UVA will not be giving out merit for in state with this set of stats unfortunately.

The applicant still has good options on the list, just not the ivies or VT.


VT stopped ED this year, so only EA.

Ivies are leaning that way. Dartmouth and Yale both did a 5-year study and show standardized test scores are the most indicative of success. They followed TO and those that submitted high scores too. The TO were more likely to be on grade probation and grade probation has increased a lot since TO.


Both Yale and Dartmouth will be test optional for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle.

Happy New Year.

"waitlisted" is not a very positive sign either. last year, fewer than 3% of in-state kids got off the waitlist.

Penn State and VT are major dependent. Penn State business is a reach and same for VT engineering. Will get into VCU and GMU and most likely GWU. Rest are not very likely.

I would think those reaches are truly reaches.


I don’t think the GPA is the issue. My guess is that the essay and ECs didn’t showcase her values, traits and leadership. The gpa and SAT will get her through the first hoop easily. The next hoop is the essay & ECs and finally fit.

As another poster said, she’ll have plenty of options.


GPA would be an issue at most FCPS high schools--4.4+ seems to be where the line is drawn on Naviance at our 'middle of the road' high school. Only a small handful of kids accepted with GPAs under that and hundreds rejected. High SATs don't seem to make that much of a difference under that GPA.

The above is incorrect. For UVa ED this year applicants were accepted, waitlisted or denied. They got rid of the deferral option. Info is on uva admissions site.

I see you were treating PS as a target that’s right
