<p>My in-state DD was accepted with a ~3.8 weighted GPA. She was not in the top 20% of her class (very close though - 21st/22nd in a class of 100). No other hooks - not recruited athlete, not legacy, not URM. She is living proof that UVA doesn’t just look at the numbers - she held an elected schoolwide leadership position in an activity in which she was deeply involved for all four years, and I think that helped them to see a few Bs and B+s in the broader context of her HS achievements. (She was deferred from EA to RD and was accepted.) There’s no downside to applying EA. Best of luck to you.</p>
