The average admitted student’s SAT score was 1390, Roberts said, and the middle 50 percent of students admitted had scores between 1300 and 1480. The average SAT score is up 10 points from last year, and both the midrange numbers are 20 points higher than last year. Also, 91 percent of admitted students were in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.

<p>that's insane</p>
<p>My thoughts exactly Hazel.</p>
<p>I found Dean Roberts' comment about waitlisting students in this year's applicant pool who a few years ago would have been offered as Echols Scholars especially telling.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how the SAT scores and ranges look when broken down by IS and OS.</p>
<p>I'm glad my son applied and entered with the 2011 class. He was IS and had SAT scores of 1240/1870.</p>
<p>Although he's gotten all A's (A+, A and A-) at UVa, and has a cumulative GPA of 3.9+, I'm not sure he would have been offered in this year's incoming class. That's scary.</p>
<p>It looks like times are changing at the University.</p>
<p>I'll be curious to see what the yield is for these applicants. Based on the number of offers, perhaps UVa doesn't expect it to vary much from prior years. Off the top of my head I'd say that makes sense; students who would have applied and accepted ED should offset any decrease in acceptances caused by switching to the Common App.</p>
<p>It seems to me I read or heard that UVa expected an increase in applications with the switch to the CA. I'd love to know what their expectations and reasoning are for yield in their first year using the CA.</p>
<p>91% in the top 10% of their graduating class when calculated during their junior year or their senior year?</p>
<p>the economy really hurt because more top kids applied this year AND the switch to the CA, but w/e we're all going to do super well later</p>
<p>wait a minute, wait a minute… for 2008, i’ve read on various sites, and on handbooks offered bhy my school counselor, that the average SAT for UVA students was around 1320, not 1380. the 75th percentile was only around 1430 or so. so what the hell is this? there’s no way it increased this much. even collegeboard says says so according to my numbers. collegedata.com also says this. and check this out: [UVa</a> - Total SAT Scores](<a href=“http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/adm_total.htm]UVa”>http://www.web.virginia.edu/iaas/data_catalog/institutional/data_digest/adm_total.htm)
its apparently a UVA site. can someone clear this up for me?</p>
<p>@Rishmeister: You are giving the statistics for matriculants. The article gives the stats for admitted students, which are higher because many of the top admits go elsewhere.</p>
<p>so the cavalier’s numbers are more accurate?</p>
<p>so the cavalier’s numbers mo accurate? i thought matriculants MEANT accepted students! n William and Mary’s numbers always been similar to UVA’s for SAT scores, and tha dean at W and M told me their scores for accepted people range from 1250 to 1450 approximately. i dont know wat the hell ta believe no more.</p>
<p>Both numbers are accurate, they’re just addressing two different things. 1380 is the avg SAT of the UVA applicant who was accepted. 1320 is the avg SAT of the UVA applicant who was accepted AND is attending. So some of those students with very high SAT scores got admitted but went elsewhere.</p>
<p>edit: matriculants are students who are accepted who also attend.</p>
<p>thanks, shirk. ima just average those two and say 1350 for easier reference, haha.</p>
<p>Woah…we’re talking out of 1600 right? Or are UVA standards really that low?</p>
<p>yeah dude we’re talkin 1600 scale. i jus hope they use writin as important tho.</p>
