[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A[b]ccording to our CCO, Richmond doesn't care about test scores - at all.[/quote][/b]

Your CCO is quite wrong.  A quick look at SCHEV shows UOR incoming freshman this past fall had a 1510 at the 75th percentile, a 3.96 GPA and a 34 ACT.[/quote]

[b]This is because you limit your admits submitting test scores to a tiny percentage, pick the highest submitting scores to keep you USNWR numbers up, and use full pay students not submitting scores to full up the class - it’s probably a great economic strategy. [/quote][/b]

It's not a tiny percentage - it's 36% of the class.  Last year, 20% submitted the SAT and 15% the ACT.  That's over 1/3.  And for most of the parents reading here, it is 99% because their children are the top flying white kids in top local publics and privates - ergo you need to submit scores to be competitive or the schools think you are hiding something. .  And if you need to submit, then you need a 1510 at the 75th percentile and a 3.96  GPA and a 34 ACT. [/quote]
