He is looking at schools where a 34 is mid range (33-35).  So a 34 is right in the middle.  So that would be a situation where score should not hurt (but probably also not help).  Am I thinking about that correctly?

Thanks.[/quote]

Oh I get it now. Yes, a 34 shouldn't hurt his chances anywhere. Those top schools (top 30 or so) admission is less stats driven so unless he brings other factors/hooks, good stats are really nonevermind kinda thing... [/quote]

Thank you.  That is what I hoping I guess- that I 34 would be worth submitting to get the app in the pile to be considered, so to speak.[/quote]

[b]Have a close relative who has worked in admissions at two select schools - nearly verbatim: "35/36 goes in one pile and 34 goes in another." It's a great score, but it doesn't get in that pile.[/b][/quote]

[b]This is absolute total and unadulterated BS.  Name the school[/b]s.[/quote]

Well, UVA.  34 is the 50th percentile for kids who showed up last fall.  35 is the 75th percentile, so 25 percent of the attending class had something higher.[/quote]

Last year’s numbers will skew higher because of the prevalence of kids who chose to not report.  Those numbers will be smaller this year given that covid cancellations are no longer an excuse.[/quote]

No, it’s been just about like that for every year DC was there. Every year the gpa and test scores creep up slightly.  Same with W&M -they are almost in lockstep but W&M is just slightly behind in most categories. I think it’s actually the quality if applications there was a concomitant surge in applications to tge publics when parents reassessed their financial situation after the crash in Spring of 2020[/quote]

Just looked at the statistics and a 34 would put a student in the 75th percentile for admitted students at UVA in  2018 to 2020 (fall of entrance).  Guess your memory is wrong.[/quote]

I’m citing the Official  SCHEV statistics for students who showed up to UVA, campus in fall 2021.  75th percentile is a 35.  5Oth percentile is a 34. Look it Up: State Council Higher Education of Virginia. Every parent in Virginua should be familiar with that straight-forward reporting site.[/quote]

This is only because half of the students accepted did not submit scores. [/quote]

FALSE. The SCHEV scores are consistent with the last seven years of reports as our W&Ms.  W&M has fallen slightly behind uVA if the goa, act and sat scores reported. Every year one or more categories creep up but nothing new here. I can provide earlier years scores if you like. Please bear in mind that these stats are the ones of students who actually showed up. The “accepted” class has even higher scores but many in-state top students use UVA as a safety so go to an IVy or top SLAC or top engineering school like MIT.[/quote]

U[b]VA’s own data quite clearly shows that a 34 is in the 75 th percentile for its freshman class for the past several years.[/b]  https://ira.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions[/quote]

Since my DS got in six years ago, I've watched the stats.  The GPA has risen slightly over the six years.  SCHEV reports the 75th percentile being a 35 for enrolled students last fall, median at 34, bottom 25th at a 32.  That seems right to me.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

[b]Well, the numbers are UVA’s own page for fall 2020 are different.  That’s the point.[/qu[/b]ote]

And the State's (SCHEV's) are for [b]Fall 2021 for actual enrolled students[/b].[/quote]

Sorry, typed 2021 out of habit.  Fall 2020 actual enrollees.[/quote]

You linked to 21-22 stats.  [/quote]
