Class of 22 admissions report

[Anonymous]

From the Washington Liberty web site. Lots of good info here! https://wl.apsva.us/office-of-counseling-services/college-career-counseling-office/class-of-2020-secondary-report-information/

Do other DMV schools publish similar info?

Wow - no. Seems like a lot of easily identifiable information, especially when only one student was accepted. I would not like that. Some of the data doesn’t quite add up. They may round differently in different columns. It must include scores that weren’t submitted, rt? No way anyone would submit some of those scores. But then it doesn’t always include all scores so maybe if a student submits SAT only but took ACT, the ACT score also gets reported on here?

Looking again - it says they don’t know who submitted scores. So sometimes it’s just one score because the other admittee didn’t take that particular test.

Is "accepted" really an "accepted" or does it mean "enrolled"?

I looked at several schools that frequently get mentioned on DCUM. Arizona State only had 3 accepted of the 17 that applied? CU Boulder was 40 of 57? (lowest SAT was < 1000.)

I think this report has some data issues.

+1
Very easy to tell what someone's scores/GPA was if only one or two people applied. Seems like a real invasion of privacy.

Georgetown has a 200% admit rate, think I'll have my kid apply next year.

It looks to me like they turned Naviance data into a chart and made it publicly available, which I didn’t think you were allowed to or should do.

Seeing some of those low scores (that were surely not submitted) made me feel better in some ways (but worse in others). But at least proof that not every kid has a 1450+ like is seemingly claimed on here.

If they meant enrolled, they would have said so. Could be that many of the students who applied to Arizona State were not that qualified, showed little genuine interest, etc. -- you can't draw firm conclusions from a total of 17 students. Plus, if the 47 for UVA meant enrolled and the school has a, say, 50% yield rate, do you think 94 were accepted from the 196 applicants? No way.

We now know the SAT & GPA for the one person accepted to ND from this high school.

And the ACT score. They were all very, very good!

1 student out of 49 applicants got into Stanford with a 32 ACT, while 47 of 196 UVA applicants got into UVA averaging an ACT of 32. This definitely shows the advantage of URM or athletes since some of the private colleges with only a few acceptances have surprisingly low test scores. Also shocked the school would publish this since schools with 1-2 acceptances, it's clear what that particular person's stats were.

OMG. Those are some low test scores. My kids ended up at a private HS because I didn’t feel comfortable sending them there and they had much higher test scores taken end of sophomore year of HS.

It’s kind of jarring. You can definitely see grade inflation in that data.

My sophomore scored 35 on his last two mock ACT tests and a 1400 on a mock SAT at start of Sophomore year with no prep.

I’m actually shocked at these low scores because of you go to the college forum everyone claims their kid had a 36 ACT and near perfect ACT.

Clearly colleges need to make testing mandatory again.
