[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people should keep in mind that just like posts about income and weight, these posts are self-selecting.  College confidential (and UVA’s own stats) speak to what the actual admitted applicant pool looks like (which is still highly selective but clearly doesn’t require a 1550 SAT).

I am so sorry high stat kids got deferred. [/quote]

People forget that admissions are holistic, stats are a threshold, not determinative.  I do think UVA likely has a very good odea about the extent of grade inflation at VA,DC, and MD schools.[/quote]

Correct. Dean J’s blog makes it clear that they know, by school, what makes a top applicant. They are also pretty clear that grades and rigor are far more important than SATs. I know DCUM is obsessed with high SATs, but I get the impression UVA is not. [/quote]

I know of two students from our lower-tier FCPS school that got accepted to UVA with SATs in the 1350 range. Both are IB diploma candidates. Neither are likely to accept as both favor other schools. Our school tells kids that if you want to get into Tech, W&M or UVA that you need to be an IB diploma candidate because it demonstrates highest rigor. And Tech - which is test optional - specifically told us that they don't look deeply at GPA, too.[/quote]
