[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP It’s insufferable because that is why everyone taunts and makes fun of UVA, they act pompous. It’s a fine school, but it’s no ain’t or Ivy Plus. It’s embarrassing for a public school to be so arrogant. [/quote]

I don’t have a kid at uva nor did a kid of mine apply to uva…but as a fcps family…it isn’t made up that uva’s in state students have high stats overall (save for maybe rural ones) AND UNC CH is not as hard to get into, in state.

The average SAT score at UNC is the same as UVA. [/quote]

I prefer UNC to UVA, and have no doubt the in-state UNC students are as sharp as the UVA in-staters, but I must point out how unhelpful references to SAT scores are in these threads.

First, all references to test scores should be suspended until the effects of the test-optional phase have passed.

But more importantly, people in all sorts of discussions mention SAT and ACT scores, but nobody clarifies whether they are referring to the scores of applicants, the scores of those accepted, or those who attend. In THIS discussion, it would seem that the only one that is relevant is the scores of those who attend. In discussions focused on admissions, then the scores of applicants and those accepted would usually be more relevant. The fact that people never make a distinction among these 3 sets of data might indicate the posters aren't serious.[/quote]
