[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly colleges need to make testing mandatory again.  [/quote]
ok, but that's not what his chart proves[/quote]

It proves a lot of parents/students were lying about their test scores to everyone  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Right?  My kid totally undershot based on this information. [/quote]

I suspect that the very low test scores are people are pretty strongly "hooked," either as athletic recruits (most likely), or big development potential, or perhaps in a few cases URM's who were otherwise fantastic candidates for admission.[/quote]

I don’t know that many recruits at top schools from WL so URM is much more likely given the school demographics.[/quote]

It’s definitely URM which is why the pp kid with excellent credentials didn’t get in.  They have a quota from each HS abs they took the URM, even the URMs that happen to also come from the same upbringing but get to check a box.[/quote]

Just for the record, while I was (initially) pretty disappointed about my kid not getting into UVa, I'm disinclined to think that he didn't get in because URM kids "got his spot."  I think my kid is awesome, but I don't know how his overall application looked in comparison to other applicants.  I'm more of the belief that there were a lot of "qualified" applicants this year, and he lost out in a numbers game.  Someone is going to look at the scattergram next year, however, and say "How did that kid not get in?"[/quote]
