[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has slightly better SAT/ACT averages than UMich.

UVA: 1400-1540, 32-34
Umich; 1340-1520, 31-34

It's silly to claim Umich is definitely a better school. It's larger and colder for sure. The rest ...[/quote]

This information is not correct for the same years.   From Michigan CDS and UVA on SCHEV for 2022-2023

UVA 25/50/75 for SAT is 1400/1470/1520 with 53% reporting.  For ACT it is 32/33/34 with 18% reporting.  (Note to UVA, it should not take 6 months to fix an online Common Data Set!)

Michigan 25/50/75 for SAT is 1350/1470/1530 with 54% reporting.  For ACT, it is 31/33/34 with 24% reporting.

Michigan is higher at 1 interval, UVA at 2 intervals, with 3 tied and with Michigan having slightly higher reporting percentage. [/quote]

This is incorrect UVA sat average is 100 points higher. I'm a guidance counselor at a prominent VA high school.[/quote]

Which once again demonstrates that high school guidance counselors were bad when I attended school 50 years ago and haven’t improved since. [/quote]

So true. Even USNWR was smart enough to eliminate the high school guidance counselors  rankings a few year ago. [/quote]

I actually found that ranking very interesting though since their impressions of a school can be important to the students they work with (and important for colleges to understand).[/quote]

They are also perhaps less likely to be gaming it than administrators, who have more of a vested interest.[/quote]
