[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought common wisdom was UVA prioritizes GPA over test scores?[/quote]

Of course most of these high SAT kids also have very high GPA[/quote]

They will not hold test optional against someone they want to admit. [/quote]

But the admission rate is higher for those that submit.[/quote]

That just means the top applicants are still submitting SATs, which is what we all know. It doesn't mean UVA is giving a preference. [/quote]

That isn’t necessarily what it means.  [/quote]

All other things being equal, a high GPA, high SAT kid is going to be advantaged over a kid with the same GPA and rigor that does not submit SAT.

[/quote]

You have no way of backing that up. The fact is that people here are just guessing. Aside from knowing UVA admissions talks about rigor and grades being most important, you can't possibly know where in the order the rest of the stuff comes. [/quote]

Standardized tests were listed as important before going test optional.  [/quote]

Ok. Apply to UVA with the "high test score."

Upon rejection, you'll find a way to blame Test Optional kids who were accepted.[/quote]

If SAT scores aren't important, why are the scores going up (as they are at most test optional schools)?[/quote]

They are going up because only people with tippy top scores are submitting. [/quote]

But if it didn't matter, why would they be the ones admitted?[/quote]
