<p>Elitist “I think I should be good with 1420/2220 and good extra-currics”</p>
<p>I think very few in-state students with good gpa’s and SAT scores consider UVA a safety school. UVA rejects many accomplished applicants. The mean accepted scores from our VA HS are 1430 SAT and 4.2gpa. The acceptance distribution appears to indicate that grades are weighted more than SAT scores. That is, there are a good number of higher SAT scores with slightly lower gpa (3.9-4.1) that are rejected. Conversely, there are lower SAT scores with 4.2 gpas that are accepted.</p>
