Best of luck to the applicants. Show grace. It’s hard to overstate how much this emotionally affects a lot of nova families.

Right. Because it’s a state school, everyone thinks it’s an easy admit for high-stat kids playing the field. And if such kids don’t get admitted, then there must be something wrong with “the system.”

The message is pretty clear, if your DC wants UVA and is within a reasonable shot stats wise, apply ED and you'll be done in December
What does "reasonable shots stats wise" mean?
If you look at naviance you will see a gpa line. It’s much higher in some schools than others. UVA says they are holistic and look at rigor but it seems clear they just want a certain gpa. So go to an easier high school and take moderate (not the hardest) courses and achieve that gpa.
If you really want to play the game move out of NoVA. Your kid will easily be top 10%, have a high GPA, great scores and be a shoe-in vs staying in NoVa and having things be a total crapshoot with the exact same stats since so many kids have them here.
Be careful with that bet.

I second this. I would just add that 4 years of a language would help too.
the do like that but it's not a deal breaker. My DD got in taking language only through 10th. Again, very high GPA but I think she was helped by ED for sure.

well in VA, that means a GPA of 4.3 min (probably higher depending on where in VA). High rigor, top 5% of their class.
