it says
[QUOTE]92.8% of admitted students were in the top 10% of their high school class
This number only reflects those who attend schools that report rank.[/QUOTE][/quote]

So I'm not fooling myself as the know it all PP claimed?  Excellent![/quote]

Every year my DC's nova high school. which does not rank its students, gives rising seniors a list of colleges that the past 5 years worth of students applied to, the percentage accepted, the average SAT or ACT score of accepted students and the average GPA of accepted students.  The average GPA for students accepted by UVA was a 4.32.

A 4.32 at this high school pretty much means the student took a couple AP classes freshman and sophomore years and is taking almost all AP and/or IB classes junior and senior years and is earning As in them.

You are fooling yourself if you think 4.32 is not top 10% even if the school doesn't rank. Sure, that leaves room for a student with a lower GPA but not much.[/quote]
