[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax doesn't report rank to the colleges. The numbers can only include those who had a rank reported.[/quote]

That is a very important point!  MoCo doesn't report rank either, and I'm guessing that is true of a lot of schools systems with a large percentage of highly achieving students.  So the 93% figure is pretty misleading.  [/quote]

You are fooling yourself if you think UVA can't figure out which applicants are in the top 10% even if the school system doesn't rank.  UVA and most selective colleges assign admissions officers on a geographic basis and it is each officer's job to know the ins and outs of each of the high schools in their area. The UVA admissions people know how a student with a 4.0 compares to a student with a 4.25 in each of their high schools and which ones are in the top 10%.

Arlington doesn't rank either and neither does my DS's private high school in DC.  UVA figures it out regardless.[/quote]

Yup.[/quote]
