1996
SAT was 1550
GPA was 3.9
Applied early decision to UVA and went there. My boyfriend was there. Parents and guidance counselors were no help at all. I had no idea Ivy League schools might be an option for me. It worked out completely fine but perhaps not the best thought-out decision.

1991
GPA 3.4 (ranked 98 out of 503, so barely top 20%
Graduated FCPS but went to an international school freshman and sophomore year (dad was us military)
Verbal 620, math 710, total sat 1330
White female, parents went to community college but never went away to school (no legacy)
Accepted
UConn (safety)
JMU honors program
UVA
Waitlisted
Wake forest
William and Mary
Did not apply for no good reason: VA Tech
There is no way I would get into UVA with those stats today, and probably not JMU

2001
Valedictorian at international magnet HS like TJ; best in that country
SAT in the 1500 (1510 or 1530, I don't remember) with ESL, perfect math
I remember writing a very sappy and dramatic, however very sincere essay about surviving war in my home country
EC: modeling for years, mostly print but also some runaway
Admitted to Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Chicago. Rejected from Harvard and Pomona. Went to the school that gave me a full academic ride; I assumed they wanted me the most.

Hooked? Because that SAT should have been disqualifying even back then.
Maybe geographically? Just a lower-middle class white girl. I won some statewide art awards. I wrote a killer essay. Stanford still likes a good essay. Thank God Stanford took a chance on me. It changed my life!
Makes sense
