<p>senoritapipita, congratulations, that’s awesome!! Thanks for the kind words.</p>
<p>By the way, you should check out the Official Georgetown University 2016 RD Results. The very first guy was also waitlisted at UVa (in-state), and his stats are absolutely incredible.</p>
<p>VADAD any word on Duke? I’ve been hoping she got in so I was curious</p>
<p>Here is another VADAD1 in making. D is a junior with 2 Cs and several Bs. So far GPA is 3.5. In her Junior year taking 3 AP courses. Doing well, hoping for 3.8 - 3.9 Junior year GPA. ECs nothing spectacular. Captain JV softball, Little league coaching and summer internships at Stonybrook and Georgetown neonatology unit. No real ladership ECs. Here is the hook, SAT 1 2380, CR 800, Math 800 and WR 780. She is instate from N Va (I guess a negative hook). I could see no 2380 in the accepted list. would they refuse a 2380 with modest GPA and minor ECs. Of course she will take 3 subject tests and 3 AP tests and hope to do well.</p>
<p>Cladbury, it was a no on Duke but we have several other things that are looking good. My girl has some options we just need to go take a look at the schools and see what she likes. I’ll update for those who are curious where she ends up.</p>
<p>fatherofm, I don’t want to speculate on your daughter’s chances, but I don’t think UVA would think twice about turning down a 2380 in state if there is something else on the application they don’t like. I don’t think, in the case of Virginia, that an 800,800,800, is any more valuable than a 750,750,750.</p>
<p>I am shocked…wow… Well best of luck:)</p>
<p>So sorry, VADad. Hope the counselor will work on your dau’s behalf with the waitlist schools. Good luck.</p>
<p>And fatherfom, I agree with VADad. SAT’s are wonderfun, but not enough. Be careful. They want to see the whole package, IMO.</p>
<p>As a college level educator in the state of VA, I’d encourage you to try Mary Washington before settling for Mary Baldwin. What I know of Mary Baldwin is many unhappy students, whereas Mary Washington seems to have very high student & faculty morale.</p>
<p>IlikeTofu, thank you for that. We’ve seen some of the student feedback on Mary Baldwin, good and bad. More than one person has suggested Mary Washington, so we are definitely taking a look.</p>
<p>We took a stroll around Sweet Briar College today. Incredible place, just gorgeous. Gonna go back for a guided tour sometime in the next couple of weeks.</p>
<p>VADAD, check out Longwood too! We are well acquainted with a freshman girl there who loves it. We also know two young ladies who graduated last year and had a very good experience. One of them is at UVA as a grad student:).</p>
<p>VADAD - My daughter is a sophomore at UMW and is extremely happy there. You probably know that Mary Washington used to be a sister school to UVA and its campus certainly reflects that. The school is rigorous and respected and if they are still taking applications, I would certainly suggest you give it serious consideration.</p>
