It likely correlates to standardized test scores.[/quote]

All of the matriculations aren’t listed so you can’t make any conclusions from that.

You don't need all of them.  You just need a reasonable representative sample size.[/quote]

We don’t know that the list from this year (or prior years) was reasonably representative. The list is incomplete.

There is also a lot of variation from year to year and many recent changes on the college admissions front. e.g., Class of 2023 had more options for test optional than the Class of 2024.

It’d be more meaningful to look at the full data set over a period of time.

its the same sample size as just about every other year.

You are trying to find solace in the possibility that this year's sample is wildly less representative than the previous years.  
Listen, none of these are bad schools and we are talking about extremely selective colleges.  But the shifts in matriculation away from UVA, VY and W&M and towards JMU and GMU indicates that the academic achievement of the 2025 class is different than previous years.[/quote]

You assume that it's the same sample size.

I'm just saying that you can't draw too much from limited information. I get that some people are fine with "alternate facts" but I prefer to not jump to conclusions.

GMU has never been higher than 4th in in-state matriculations (always behind UVA, W&M, and VT), but [b]it was first this year.  [/b]That point seems significant.[/quote]

We don’t really know that. The data is insufficient.

Given the shift in family incomes, it seems feasible that matriculations will be more driven by finances going forward.
