[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The vast majority of admissions data available on the Internet is from the common data set and colleges have no specific guidelines for reporting GPA on their common data set. Some report weighted GPA, others report unweighted, or recalculated, or omit GPA data altogether. Stanford reports a 3.95. Comparing that to UVAs 4.23 is completely useless.[/b] [/quote]'

That's the beauty of the reporting of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) (SCHEV reports to the Virginia state legislature).  All the information you could need is right there:  Top quartile entering (not accepted, entering, which is a lower figure) has a 4.44 GPA; median at 4.23; and bottom quartile at 4.13.  William & Mary is 4.44, a median of 4.24 and a bottom 25 percentile at a 4.01.  http://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp  SCHEV also tracks all the private colleges and universities in Virginia, so that U of Richmond is there as well[/quote]

Do you work for SCHEV? You post about it daily. 
I’m glad that you’re so excited about their data, but your reply is completely irrelevant to the above post. We aren’t talking about comparing two VA schools. Va schools pad their data and puff themselves up. [/quote]
