That's good, because the chances of your kid getting in from out of state are next to none.[/quote]

Weird, the Naviance data for DD's private school in MD suggests that anyone with a 3.3 GPA and 1500 SAT or better gets admitted to UVA, with plenty of people below that also getting in (just not all of them).[/quote]

and how many people are in that category? just curious. That would be maybe 2 in our 400 person class at a Nova public with a 1500 or above but maybe that's the difference between public and private.[/quote]

The school doesn't provide consolidated SAT score percentiles, but the 75th percentile is 750 for each part of the SAT, so something like 15% of each class is at 1500 or better, I would guess, which would equate to about 14 people each year.

I'd bet there are more than 2 people over 1500 at the NOVA public.[/quote] 
This is wildly, unbelievably wrong.  1420 is like 95th percentile.  https://www.cappex.com/articles/testing/what-is-a-good-SAT-score[/quote]

I dont think you can look at nationwide statistics as a comparison. This information is a year old, but nationwide the average SAT was 1051. FCPS was 1211.  The AVERAGE at Langley-1305,  McLean-1295, Oakton-1281. With 99% certainty I can say that 1420 is NOT the 95th percentile.
