Don't think he's UVA material.  Anyone disagree?  I don't care if he goes there or not, just looking to manage expectations.[/quote]

What's his class rank? UVA cares more about that than test scores. Regardless, should go test optional with that SAT[/quote]

My DS doesn’t have class rank at their school.  [/quote]

They may say that but UVA (and other schools) can figure out rank in seconds by comparing your kids’ weighted gpa and AP classes to those in the “ class profile” provided every year by your college counselor to colleges. That profile provides to the top possible weighted gpa and percentages of kids at various points. Also membership i. Honor societies provides info. You also want to make sure the college counselor checks off the “most rigorous “ box (yes it’s still there). Often your own child will have a sense of rank because they are usually in the same AP classes and compare notes with other students.  The top two students in our private got into UVA[/quote]
