[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, some years close to 2000 students get a 1600, which is more than "a few hundred."  And the top schools are notorious for rejecting many of them anyway.

Second of all, UVA has been on record for decades that it cares more about grades and classes taken than test scores and the record bears that out.  Remember the school remains test optional.

The bottom line:  UVA admission is not a given for this kid.  Not even close.

It's nice the OP is not getting feedback that is just pure praise, but ffs it's shifted in the other direction now just to prove a point? 1600 kid is getting into UVA.[/quote]

See, that's just not true.  Likely?  Sure.  But a guarantee?  Not even close.  This board and the entire internet is full of stories and posts by applicants with scores well into the 1500s not getting in.  Do you really think that a 1600 is magical?  [/quote]
