At orientation Dean said 90% of incoming freshman are top 10% of their class.

The spike in appications over the past few years is unbelievable.

I posted earlier and while the average is 35% from 2010-2016, it is trending to a somewhat lower admission rate more recently.

Students outside the top 20% don't bother applying

And yes, even if school systems say they don't rank, a hierarchy exsists

The numbers say 20-30%.

My dc just enrolled at UVA. The President Teresa sullivan said at convocation last evening that 90% of the class is in the top 10% of their high school class. Students come from 45 states and 100+ countries. The NoVa number of students is 100 less than it was for last year which is not a good trend for those applying from NoVa. Only two got in from his school and both enrolled.

What was the size of your DC's HS graduating class?

Applications, yes- number of students going to college? No. So the yield rates have also dropped, which make it about the same difficulty to get in.

Nope. A review of the data indicates that it is now more difficult to be admitted.

Over what span of time? And which schools? More people are going to college than ever before.

Do you know why? It can't possibly be because NOVA students are less qualified than last year or because the number of NOVA students applying has reduced. So why?

Source? The president wouldn't have announced that.

affirmative action.

this time it is geographic in nature.

politically driven to give the hillbillies things they didn't earn (but will say they did by their own merit).

VA resident here who is perfectly fine with "affirmative action" that gives opportunities to teens statewide.

If you're so sure your kid is more qualified than the kids from "hillybilly" schools, why so bitter? Your kid is already ahead in the game.

the hillbillies should raise their hands and admit that they get in via geographic affirmative action then instead of pretending they get in via blind merit and say they don't use affirmative action like URMs.

if the hillbillies do that, then it is more palatable.
