[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They're ignoring that thousands of students that aren't anywhere close to being academically qualified for UVA apply every year and are essentially an auto reject. W&M doesn't really get that.[/quote]

Just looking at Scattergrams from DCs large FCPS high school:

W&M rejects are overwhelmingly under 4.0 gpa and under 1350 SAT. Many other rejects with under 4.0 but over 1350 SAT. Looks to me like the “qualified” students (gpa over 4.2) are almost auto-admits. The rejects clearly shouldn’t have applied.

Meanwhile, UVA had a lot of rejects who look clearly unqualified (gpa under 4.0, SAT under 1400)[b]. However, UVA also rejected a large number of seemingly qualified kids (gpa over 4.2, and even 1500 SAT getting denied). There’s far more rejection in the top right than with W&M.[/b]

The impression is that a high stats kid is much more likely to get into W&M than UVA. There are lots of auto-rejects applying to UVA but there is no such thing as an auto-admit to UVA as there appears to be at W&M.
