[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing tying the GPA or test scores to race in SCHEV. [/quote]

Nope. But they are in Naviance. I have access to TJ and Chantilly.  Both have average GPAs of 4.3-4.4 for admission.  Both have a lot of red on the scatter gram until about a 4.5.  Chantilly has one kid (out of 200-300 plotted) with a 4.05. Nothing lower admitted, and nobody else for at least another .1 above them.

TJ is 95% white or Asian and less than 2% FARMs.  Mostly unhooked.  Chantilly is 75% white or Asian and 16% FARMS, and mostly unhooked.  These are the numbers it takes for a white or Asian unhooked kid to get in from NOVA.  I’m sure if you look at Langley, McLean, Woodson, Oakton, LBSS, W Springfield, Naviance will say that the averages are above a 4.3/ 1450 there too.

The lower GPAs come from high school, with high URMs. But also ROVA HSs that don’t offer 15+ APs.  Remember UVA/WM are about 1/3 each NOVA, ROVA and OOS. OOS GPAs are higher than in state. That’s in SCHEV. But ROVAs are lower than NOVA. Because they don’t offer the course loads.

Maybe your kid will be the 1 4.05 out of several hundred admitted. But I wouldn’t count on it.  [/quote]

I am concerned that think you have a good handle on how statistics work, but you don’t. You can’t draw the conclusions you are posting with the information you have. Please take a minute to quietly think about what you are posting and why you are making these conclusions. If you say this stuff out loud, people are definitely thinking you are foolish (at the least) or racist (at worst). [/quote]
