[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you submit SAT for the following schools:

UVA
W&M
VA Tech

White male, Business major. (Pre business for uva).

I know these are reach schools btw.

Based on &lt;50 percentile I would not, but 1380 is in the 92nd percentile overall and I don’t want them to think it’s like an 1100 if he doesnt submit. [/quote]

He will be competitive at all of them. [/quote]

What do you base this on?  [/quote]

Experience. Acceptances of my own two white kids, albeit from LCPS. Similar numbers.

UVA may depends on course rigor and other intangibles and how they construct class rank (I know FCPS doesn’t rank, but believe be the admissions offices do and UVa wants top 10%). Similar for W&M (although why W&M for business?). VT the supplementals matter but the numbers are a stronger fit. [b]Demonstrated interest with admissions counselor assigned to VT also helps. [/b]

My two were 3-for-3 with these schools with 1420 and 1150 and 4.66 and 3.98 weighted, respectively. [/quote]

Hi - Can you elaborate on this? I thought VT doesn't care about demonstrated interest. [/quote]
VT says demonstrated interest does not count. The kids applying to VT from DS's high school would fill their auditorium - I don't think the VT regional admissions counselor was taking notes on attendance. [/quote]
I say this with no data at my disposal, just an observation. This is the first admissions cycle in a while that ED is NOT part of the admissions process.  You could argue that demonstrated interest was very important historically with ED and communications describing high stat kids being denied. [b]There also appears to be a surprisingly small number of TJ kids attending considering its the "tech school" of Virginia.[/b] Tech will be very interesting. [/quote]

Tech has routinely been rejecting high stats kids out of TJ to protect yield.. Kids that got into UVA, UMD, UIUC, Michigan, Purdue, Cornell, etc. Word spreads..[/quote]

DP.  Any actual facts or citations to back this up or just the usual opinions and anecdotes?   :roll: [/quote]
