Chance VA resident in a competitive area for Brown, Yale, and Northwestern [Computational Biology, 3.95 UW, 1550 SAT]

No worries! I know every area has it challenges. I’m sure I’d be grumbling if I raised my kids in NOVA but most people don’t realize what these kids go through and see every day. It’s just very different. And even if their SAT scores seem low, they are just as capable of getting excellent grades at UVA.

But yes, it is definitely harder to stand out amongst the best in NOVA. Y’all just have too many smart people up there!
