Y[/b]es they might technically have dozens ut they are huge schools of 500+ kids in the senior class. People accused me of lying when I said my kids school only had about 10 accepted, but we have a population of  less than 400.

Washington Liberty for instance according to the school profile has 577 seniors and had 47 accepted, that's 8%, which again means you have to be well under the 10% threshold alot of folks bandy about on this website. Yorktown also only 8% of the population got in. [/quote]

Yes, only 5 out of 23 at Arlington Tech.  Only two got in from my son's VA private - both accepted to UVA.  I also noted that GMU and JMU have become much more difficult to get into - depending upon the school, less than 20% of the applicants, up to may be half on average.  Certainly not what it was a few years ago.[/quote]

Agsin, NOT TRUE.  GMU has become EASIER to get into over the last few years.  There's NO WAY the GMU admissions "data" reported in thos article are correct.  [b]A 3.0 gets you in.[/quote][/b]

That is not true.  The applicant class is getting better every year.  SCHEV reports that the 75th percentile of students who actually enrolled had a 4.0; the median a 3.75; and the bottom 25th percentile had a 3.44.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Rampage grade inflation. [/quote]

NO. Publics have become much more in demand during COViD. Many families list a big chunk of money in March 2020 and began reassessing spending 80K+ on privates. So the demand for in-state slots in those states with good publics went up. The applicant classes have higher stats than precovid. Also the test scores of admitted and attending students have gone up. SCHEV says the median student enrolling at uva last year had an astonishing 35 ACT[/quote]

UVA booster. It was 33.[/quote]
[b]
And less than 20% of students enrolling are submitting ACT scores.[/quote][/b]

can you provide a SCHEV cite for that because I don't see it[/quote]

It is in the common data set.  It was actually 21% for 2021-22.
