[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you provide examples of what you mean by rank and rigor..Better yet, if you can post a template on what information you'd like to see, that would be helpful.[/quote]

This report put out by the Virginia Council of Higher Education provides statistics (not rigor) for schools for the entering class of each year.  So this addresses GPA/ACT/SAT, etc.  It does not address rigor, but you know UVA, etc., wants to see the most rigorous box checked.  Here, for example, you can see the entering class of W&M last year at the 75th percentile had a 4.50 and UVA a 4.52.  You can see every private and public virginia school here and get a very good sense of where your child might fit.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Not helpful data. For APS, every kid w 4.4 and above gets into UVA. [/quote]

[b]This is definitely not true[/b].  My full-IB at W-L kid had a 4.53 (3.98 unweighted) and a 35 ACT, and didn't get into UVa.  [/quote]

+1.  I know a lot of 4.5+ students who didn't get in.  UVA is looking for a) the high GPA; in b) most rigorous classes offered by the high school; with c) a 35 ACT; and d) great ECs[/quote]
