[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although a 1320 is below average at UVA for reported scores, I would think it is well in the range for TO applicants. [/quote]

It’s low even for them.  [/quote]

Ha, you are extremely wrong. My nephew got in last year TO with a high gpa and rigor, 4s and 5s on AP exams, and his SAT score was 1080. Some kids don’t test well and those are the ones who apply TO. A 1320 is close to the 25th percentile for SUBMITTED scores at UVA, why would you think it is low “even for them” (those who choose not to submit)?[/quote]

A 1080 is not "[i]not[/i] testing well." That kid can't even be considered smart with the watered down SAT. Talk about gaming the system. Hopefully they're majoring in lib arts and have no plans for grad school.[/quote]

Think what you will. He’s doing very well so far and I expect that he will continue to do so. He also has a high IQ and tested as gifted in school. So I think your assertion that he “can’t be considered smart” is wrong. You sound jealous that your precious might not get in with their 1570. [/quote]

Maybe its not jealousy,  but the fact the other poster feels its unfair.[/quote]
