[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Unless you get a good score, in which case they matter more than ever.[/quote]

And ... *checks notes* ... you might submit both to drive the point home.[/quote]

Ok, you’ve convinced me. White kids at Virginia colleges can’t do basic algebra. My kid is sick and tired of taking high school math with kids like that, so we will look outside the state of Virginia for college. [/quote]

There are many colleges with mandatory test submissions, currently and in the past.  The total of SAT and ACT at any of them is typically around 100%, with a few schools having 102-110.  So 'double submission' of test scores is not really a common practice.[/quote]

Duke’s CDS reports 93% of admitted students submitted ACT and SAT scores. I attended an info session with my son this evening and found out 20% of admitted students were TO. [/quote]
