[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.3 gpa from highly rigorous DC private, 28 ACT. Waitlisted. Completely shocked. This is nonsense. So mad right now.[/quote]

I'm sorry. I'm also kind of surprised that your dc from a rigorous private got a 28 ACT with a good private school GPA![/quote]

28 is the 90th percentile for all test takers.  JMU range for 50th is 24-29. It’s a strong score for JMU. [/quote]

Especially since only 26% of JMU applicants submit scores! It's range is tilted upwards because 3/4 of the students with likely lower end of scores don't submit.[/quote]

[b]It doesn’t work like that.[/b][/quote]

You think kids with scores well above the 75% are deciding not to send them?  Kids who go TO are almost always kids whose scores are or would have been generally at the average/lower end of the scores range.[/quote]

Absolutely. My DDs too choice is VCU and she and her friends did not send in their 1400+ scores at the advice of counselor.[/quote]

-1  Your anecdote aside, the data on this is crystal clear.  When schools go test optional the students that tend to submit SAT scores are those who are on the higher side of the range. [/quote]

Wrong. No less a derivative assumption than the anecdote. No dog in the fight.[/quote]
