[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I wasn’t clear.  He is looking at schools where a 34 is mid range (33-35).  So a 34 is right in the middle.  So that would be a situation where score should not hurt (but probably also not help).  Am I thinking about that correctly?

Thanks.[/quote]

Oh I get it now. Yes, a 34 shouldn't hurt his chances anywhere. Those top schools (top 30 or so) admission is less stats driven so unless he brings other factors/hooks, good stats are really nonevermind kinda thing... [/quote]

Thank you.  That is what I hoping I guess- that I 34 would be worth submitting to get the app in the pile to be considered, so to speak.[/quote]

[b]Have a close relative who has worked in admissions at two select schools - nearly verbatim: "35/36 goes in one pile and 34 goes in another." It's a great score, but it doesn't get in that pile.[/b][/quote]

[b]This is absolute total and unadulterated BS.  Name the school[/b]s.[/quote]

Well, UVA.  34 is the 50th percentile for kids who showed up last fall.  35 is the 75th percentile, so 25 percent of the attending class had something higher.[/quote]

Last year’s numbers will skew higher because of the prevalence of kids who chose to not report.  Those numbers will be smaller this year given that covid cancellations are no longer an excuse.[/quote]

No, it’s been just about like that for every year DC was there. Every year the gpa and test scores creep up slightly.  Same with W&M -they are almost in lockstep but W&M is just slightly behind in most categories. I think it’s actually the quality if applications there was a concomitant surge in applications to tge publics when parents reassessed their financial situation after the crash in Spring of 2020[/quote]
