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. [b]Also membership i. Honor societies provides info. [/b]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]

This isn’t true. My UVA first-year wasn’t in any honor societies! [/quote]
