I think you have a strong chance. HOWEVER, NOVA is very competitive. I don’t know if you are doing ED, but if you get the decision of we will wait until RD don’t flip.

In our area of NOVA (PW) one school had almost every student get in, while ours had only 1 for ED. Kids were flipping out because those students had lower stats and the school ranked lower within the county (our school is only 1 of 2 in the county that has ICSE, AICE, AP and IB). To this day nobody can give a reason why, the only guesstimate is that the students from that school were minorities.

AT our school I would say 50% got VT. Their major really played into the decision.
