These are all TO stats so completely meaningless. W&L and Richmond?? A/A-?? lol

Rankings are not based on the test scores. Just included for reference. See Virginia Tech and American.

I see. So there's grade inflation in these ratings as well. Other than JHU, GU, and UVA, drop every school at least half a grade.

W&L doesn't have guaranteed admission students from community colleges or "W&L at Wise". Drop all VA publics by a full letter grade and raise all privates by at least half a letter grade.

There she is. The W&L booster. Making a dumb ranking system just to say how great their above average school is. Maybe try not to have a confederate loser as part of your school name to go along with your 80% white campus.

What? I have no skin in the game. Also, W&L is a top choice for top 1%ers and good test takers.

I know lots of top 1% students and W&L was the top choice for none of them.

I don't think most kids choose W&L over UVA or even W&M

I like the category of opportunity school! I don't know enough about that group (not that that should stop me!) to say who belongs so I'll leave it as is.

anyway, here's my edit of your list.

I think this is probably a lot closer to reality than the original post.

I would dispute USNA being on any list because the pool of interested applicants is narrow and the selectivity is higher than the SAT score would indicate.
It certainly has a much more national appeal than a lot of schools that show up higher on the list.

Agree with this and I have no military affiliation. The USNA is test required and has more clout nationally than any school on this list.

USNA is test required. The average SAT/ACT for the other schools on this list would go WAY down if they also required testing.
