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

[b]Well ... the information is from us news.

SCHEV has the same stats.  Last year's UVA incoming student had a 4.53 GPA at the 75th percentile (meaning 25% were above), a 34 ACT and/or a 1520 SAT.  Median was 4.40, 1470, 33.  Bottom 25th percentile was a 4.24/32/1400.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Again, the stats at the top are what are wrong and were what was questioned.  They don't match what you just posted and they don't align with Michigan's common data set.  This is what was at the top:

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

From US News:

"University of Virginia Admissions
University of Virginia admissions has an acceptance rate of 19% and an early acceptance rate of 24.9%. [b]Half the applicants admitted to UVA who submitted test scores have an SAT score between 1400 and 1540 or an ACT score of 32 and 34.[/b] However, one quarter of admitted applicants achieved scores above these ranges and one quarter scored below these ranges. The application deadline at University of Virginia is Jan. 5."

Which is wrong based on the CDS/SCHEV, which is what the university attests to.  It is 1400-1520.  But you are just focusing on UVA.   I also pointed out that what the PP showed for Michigan ( 1340-1520, 31-34) is wrong based on BOTH USNWR and the CDS.   USNWR shows 1350-1530, for Michigan, same as the CDS.  [/quote]

Please contact US news and make your dispute with them. According to US news and even your data, UVA students have slightly better SAT/ACT scores than Umich.[/quote]

Michigan is higher at the 75th percentile for the test most submit, the SAT.  They are the same at the 50th and UVA is higher at the 25th.   [/quote]
