Wake Forest..lol no. Wake Forest is not even in the same zip code. Tulane, Pepperdine, BU and BC are the same. You need to come out of the 1970’s. |
UVA: 1470 (59% submitting scores) W&M: 1470 (59% submitting scores) WF: 1450 (48% submitting scores) Tulane: 1450 (45% submitting scores) BU: 1450 (40% submitting scores) BC: 1470 (50% submitting scores) Pepperdine: 1360 (21% submitting scores) What do you have to say about this? |
How is the 10-15% the smartest? What would you call the 1% then? Talk about DEIing a superlative. |
1%s should not and cannot be compared to 0.1 and 0.01%s. No comparison to be made. Stop trying to make 1% something special when it's not. |
15% of American households are millionaires, would you not consider them some of the richest people in the country? |

W&M is a safety for UVA kids. UVA is a safety for T20 kids. Unless yield protection is a thing. |
Somehow their enrolling SATs are identical as are their GPAs. I think if UVA were really the next step for t20 applicants their SAT median would be more similar to Harvard, Yale, etc. |
It's funny how the other poster has actual numbers and evidence, but yet you continue to delude yourself that your unobjective feelings are what really matters. |
+1000!! |
+1 Every school other than HYP is someone's backup. Even those schools, backups for each other. Who cares. |
It's certainly not a metric that is touted when discussing wealth...which is almost always about the top 1%. When any 3rd party measures the wealth of a college student body they always comment on what %age comes from the top 1%...not the top 15% (or even the top 5% or top 10%). |
0.1 percenters would laugh at 1 percenters who think they're wealthy. It's all subjective. Do you have any concrete numbers to back up any point? |
Usually it's both top 1% and top 10%. For colleges the CDS asks about top 10%. |
Absolutely. The ivies plus MIT Stanford Duke Hopkins and a couple others all had 25th%ile SAT of enrolled students at 1470 or higher pre-test optional. UVA and William and Mary both had the 75th%ile at 1470or so. The top quarter of UVA (and WM) is the same as the top 3/4 of ivy/+ schools: they are not the same tier, and they are essentially tied as far as student quality. UVA and WM should both be about 25-30 national ranking. They are peers but neither is on par with ivy. |
