[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So I had a kid enter UVA in 2009.  He had a 1970 SAT on the old scale, which I just calculated would be a 1360 on the new scale.  He was below the mean on the SAT both then and now by about the same amount.

Why is everybody saying that admissions are so much more competitive now, then?  Yes, there are more applications, but the stats for those admitted and enrolling haven't changed all that much[/b].   [/quote]

Yes, the statistics have changed dramatically.  The entire world of college admissions has changed in just the last few years, not to mention the eleven years ago.  My DD recently graduated.  She would not get into UVA today, I am confident.  Her GPA and test scores are too low for a white student from NOVA.

If you are applying from NoVA for UVA you need to be in the top ten percent of your class although some college counselors now say top five percent.  The 75th percentile GPA of ENROLLED students last fall was  a 4.48; median was 4.34 and 25th percentile was a 4.20.  ACTs were 34 at the 75th percentile.  SAT was 1480 at the 75th percentile.  A 1360 would place around the 35th percentile of enrolled students. BUT, the lower percentiles are predominantly used for URMs, low-income, first-generation, unusually talents, athletes, legacies, and other special interest groups.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]
