[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expecting a rejection as well. In state not over 4.4 gpa. He has good rigor but 4.36 gpa[/quote]

Same. In state, 4.38, lots of rigor. High test score though, [b]but I don’t think UVA cares about test scores at all. I [/b]will report back. [/quote]

Why on earth would you say that?[/quote]

If you've listened to their presentations, they always say that rigor and grades across all four years is more important than the tests. [/quote]

No, Dean J does not say that. She says rigor AND grades AND test scores AND ECs, etc are important. Otherwise how do you explain a 35ACT at the 75th percentile and a 34 at the median?[/quote]

Yep. Listen to what they do, and not what they say.

If scores didn’t matter they would be test blind. [/quote]

Correct. SCHEV doesn’t lie. They want to see a 35 ACT and/or a 1510 SAT. Dean J has to make test optional noises until UVA decides to return to testing, which the Board is considering for fall 2027.

Remember also that she’s said the same about grades. It’s all marketing. She wants your kid to apply. She knows you want to hear these statements and rely upon them.[/quote]

I wouldn’t make any assumptions about what the newly constituted BoV will do re: test scores. It’s a new day.[/quote]
