Use the SCHEV data for fall entering class 2017 at UVA.  It's much more accurate[/quote]

from research.schev.edu//enrollment/BIO_FreshmanProfile.asp

for UVA  top 75% SAT of 1480   [UChicago 1600]
for UVA SAT median of 1400      [UChicago 1525]
for UVA low 25% SAT of 1320    [UChicago 1450]
for UVA ACT median of 32         [UChicago  34]
for UVA top 75% of 33              [UChicago   35]
for UVA low 25% of 29              [UChicago   32]

this comparison indicates that UVA student class is significantly broader in range of academic performance/attainment - UVA attracts some high performing academic students - UChicago has a significantly "tighter" distribution of test results.

This isn't meant to spark any controversy about the two schools - they are very different institutions and student experiences - but data can be helpful if taken with context.[/quote]
