[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want Dean J’s cute little videos about their holistic approach and how they want to see this and that from a student. I don’t need dean j at all. For in state admissions I want a formula. Kid took these classes, got these grades, got that SAT, then guaranteed admission to UVA or WM or Vtech or whatever other VA state school, end of story. Otherwise you are not getting my tax dollars.

This is not the way any college selects students.  Why would you want that.  There is no formula.  [/quote]

UT is required to do just that by state law. Virginia could impose the same standards on state schools if they choose to[/quote]

[b]No they can't UT is not UVA.  Size matters. [/quote][/b]

Sure the Commonwealth could do the same.  Just say top 2% high schoolers with X SAT/ACT get to go.  Done.[/quote]

Okay, playing that game for Fairfax county:

HS Graduates Total 14.057
2% = 281 to be enrolled per your suggestion
Currently Admission rate to UVA  1,315 students with a yield rate around 50%

So according to your idea, and going with that yield rate, only 562 students from Fairfax county should be offered admission into UVA with the hopes half decline.[/quote]

What is it too few? Too many? You can adjust numbers, bring SAT into play. Or use any other factors that are allowed by law but be clear about them. Like other posters mentioned the rest of the world figured out how to do it.  It is not rocket science[/quote]

The legislature can pass the law and let the school figure it out. Fewer OOS and foreign students would make the numbers work (that's what UT did) [/quote]
