[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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).

[/quote]

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 c[b]an’t do basic algebra. [/b]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]

[b]UVA's incoming class last year had a math SAT at 780 for the 75th percentile (meaning 25% had more); a 760 at the median and a 710 at the bottom 25th of the class.[/b] ACT was 34/33/32, respectively.  Some Virginia kids can do "basic algebra".  But by all means pay $44K more to go OOS.  Please[/quote]

The incoming class at UVA is very good at math, t[b]he person who posted this is not[/b].[/quote]

It's all from SCHEV; what's incorrect?[/quote]

If 50% of students submit SAT scores, and the top 75% of those students have scores of 710 or higher, what percent of the entering class had a score under 710?

Is it (a) roughly the bottom 25% of the class (1 in every 4 students), as you said?

Or is it (b) the bottom 62.5% of the class (most students on campus and nearly 2 out of every 3 students)?[/quote]
