[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is finishing 10th so we’re just starting the process and have a very broad initial list, and I’m helping DC by putting in some basic stats about schools into their tracking spreadsheet. DC has great stats so far but we will need in-state (VA) or merit, so for now we’ve got several mid-tier VA publics on the list including Christopher Newport. I was looking up CNU’s CDS and I’m puzzled.

CNU says it is test optional ONLY IF applicants have a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 (so unweighted) scale or are top 10% of their class, but also say less than 45% of applicants submit test scores. Is CNU really pulling so many students above UW GPA of 3.5/4.0 who don’t need to submit (and that’s not considering that some folks who submit might not need to)? And on top of all that, the 75%ile test scores are only SAT 1290/ACT 29. I guess if weaker students (in terms of GPA) are the ones required to submit test scores, that would likely pull the averages down. But I just didn’t think of CNU as being the kind of school that would be swimming in top students for more than half their applicants. [/quote]

Not real sure how we would know any answers to this. [/quote]
