[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick Question - Child has has legacy with UVA and VA Tech and plans to apply to both.  Understanding that the Commonwealth has outlawed legacy consideration what is the strategy?  Do you still mention it if it shapes the students personal growth and life experience?  Don't mention? avoid it?  Is there a strategy or just forget about it.

[b]Both schools are test optional - 1410 you submit SAT to both schools? I guess UVA that is low for submitted but its well above our HS average accepted regular and ED  (Student is from NOVA public school)

Thanks - just wondering if people are thinking deeply on this  or getting any feedback or advice specific to this year given so much has changed.

First you should check your school's Naviance/college advisor about the stats that your own high school graduates have that got in.  The go to SCHEV.  It says a 1410 was the bottom 25th of the class last fall, so I wouldn't submit, but check that with the Dean J reports and podcasts.  The UVA scores were 1520 for the 75th percentile, 1470 for the median, and 1410 for the bottom 25th.  https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]
