[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has possible the most transparent admissions of any college.  It’s almost entirely class rank.[/quote]
DeanJ just posted over at CC that "rank isn’t the most important factor, as only about 34% of applicants [b]have that stat[/b]."

Is she saying that only 34% of their applicants go to a high school which releases ranking data? My kid's FCPS school didn't rank, but [b]I'm pretty sure they provided GPA ranges and the percentile of the class in that range in the school profile they send to colleges[/b]. It's not hard to figure it out from there.

It's these sorts of answers that annoy me when it comes to Dean J. She knows they have more detailed information than specifically "class rank".  [/quote]

At my FCPS school college application information night last Fall, I directly asked if they provide gpa ranges or class gpa percentiles and they said no. So at least from our school DeanJ did not have any more detailed information.

Every time people don’t get the result they want, they assume UVA is lying or hiding something. They don’t need to. They evaluate thousands of applicants per year, they know NoVA and MD schools without any double top secret details about your kid.[/quote]

This. When did everyone become so soft and entitled? [/quote]
