[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The current class has 286 with perfect SATs, 93 percent were in the top 10% of their class, etc[/quote]

I doubt it. The CB reports that in 2014 there were 583 perfect 2400 scores.  Assuming similar numbers for 2015, do you really believe half of those people went to UVA?[/quote]

According to UVA for 2016 I think: "More significant increases were seen in the number of perfect SAT scores. This year’s admitted class includes 255 students with a perfect score on the 1600 scale — a noticeably large change compared to last year’s 184 students. The number of students who earned a score of 2400 also saw a sizable difference, with 79 students this year — up 29 from last year’s total."

That's admitted vs. attending.  I'd guess that a majority of those students were using UVA as a safety and went elsewhere.[/quote]

Yes, the admitted v. attending factor is key.  It makes sense that UVA would have an unusually high percentage of perfect SAT scorers applying (and likely admitted) given how many there are in this category at TJ (and other top NOVA schools) and the likelihood that they all apply to UVA as a safety.

Perhaps the scores are perfect after they are superscored.[/quote]

I'll buy that.   Even so, I'm guessing only a fraction of these students attend UVA.  [/quote]
