[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My white, upper middle class (at least) daughter, from a top Northern Virginia public high school, with no hooks, no spectacular extracurriculars (no leadership positions and no varsity sport), and run-of-the-mill essays, was accepted at U-Va despite having an SAT score lower than the school's 25th percentile and more than 100 points lower than the school's average (on the 1600 scale). Why? She had outstanding grades in tough classes. No one is going to tell me that she cost an Asian or anyone else a spot at U-Va. [/quote] Swap uva for t25 private school and she would've been shut-out (perhaps emory or cmu might have taken her, that's about it). UVA (even though va does not practice race blind admissions like west coast schools do) does not abuse holistic admission like t10/t25 privates. [/quote]
