[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA the highest test scores in the state.  Obviously [/quote]

[b]50% of the entering class didn't submit SAT scores.[/b]

Pretty consistent across the board for the competitive publics (45% at Tech and W&M)

What's surprising to me is that [b]only 30% of the entering class at Washington & Lee submitted SAT scores [/b](and the percentiles were identical to UVA).

Do parents still think test optional is a fad?[/quote]

Another 26% submit ACT scores so about 50% submit scores. That said, they were encouraging test optional on the tour. My daughter goes there now and got in test optional. [/quote]

Full pay? ED? Generally speaking, that’s who shows up for tours, so that’s a great venue to deliver a targeted message. I assume full-pay ED kids at W&L lean test optional, while kids competing for the full ride scholarships are more likely to submit. [/quote]

They don’t require scores for the Johnson scholarship. My kid has many friends who are Johnson Scholars who did not submit scores who are not hooked. They have amazing extracurriculars/grades.

W&L uses the scholarship to recruit both High stats/exceptional kids who may have otherwise gone to a T20 school and underrepresented kids.

BTW, Asians are also underrepresented here with only 4-5% of the student body. [/quote]
