[quote=Anonymous]You multipy X10 to roughly approximate a likely SAT score.  The score distributions are fairly similar for the two tests.

So if you're DD had a 620, 660, 620 on the SAT that would put her within UVA's typical admission range (but on the low side).

UVA's Middle 50% rate for SAT scores:

610-720 Critical Reading

630-740 Math

620-720 Writing

It's a strong score, and if she improves some by senior year (which is likely), she'll find herself with a decent shot at admission to UVA, provided grades, extracurriculars, etc are strong.  It's crazy that the 93rd percentile nationally is not good enough to make someone a shoe-in for the state's flagship university, but that's what we get for living in a highly educated state with strong public school systems.  Of course, we're also blessed to have multiple public universities (UVA, W&M, VTech, JMU, VCU, GMU, etc.) where our kids can get a great education.  We sometimes stress too much about our kids falling behind their peers in Northern Virginia, because it's easy to forget that the peer group here is REALLY strong.
