Pretty consistent across the board for the competitive publics (45% at Tech and W&M)
What's surprising to me is that only 30% of the entering class at Washington & Lee submitted SAT scores (and the percentiles were identical to UVA).
Do parents still think test optional is a fad?
Another 26% submit ACT scores so about 50% submit scores. That said, they were encouraging test optional on the tour. My daughter goes there now and got in test optional.
Unless you get a good score, in which case they matter more than ever.
And ... *checks notes* ... you might submit both to drive the point home.
Ok, you’ve convinced me. White kids at Virginia colleges can’t do basic algebra. My kid is sick and tired of taking high school math with kids like that, so we will look outside the state of Virginia for college.
UVA's incoming class last year had a math SAT at 780 for the 75th percentile (meaning 25% had more); a 760 at the median and a 710 at the bottom 25th of the class.
That top 25% had greater than or equal to 780. The bottom 25% was below 710 not at 710. Who knows how low the bottom 10%, 5%, or even 2% went.
The entire incoming class did not have those scores. It is representative of only those that submit. That is what some people are commenting on.
