[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people should keep in mind that just like posts about income and weight, these posts are self-selecting.  College confidential (and UVA’s own stats) speak to what the actual admitted applicant pool looks like (which is still highly selective but clearly doesn’t require a 1550 SAT).

I am so sorry high stat kids got deferred. [/quote]

People forget that admissions are holistic, stats are a threshold, not determinative.  I do think UVA likely has a very good odea about the extent of grade inflation at VA,DC, and MD schools.[/quote]

Correct. Dean J’s blog makes it clear that they know, by school, what makes a top applicant. They are also pretty clear that grades and rigor are far more important than SATs. I know DCUM is obsessed with high SATs, but I get the impression UVA is not. [/quote]

That’s  100% true. My DS was accepted in 2021 with a 1380 but fifth in his class of over 400. He’s a second year with a 3.95 gpa so clearly they made the right decision
