<p>I am curious about the OPs question - does anyone know what the difference is between in-state and OOS SAT scores? We live in MD and our S2 loves UVA (current hs senior) and is hoping to get in although he has heard that you need “ivy-league stats”. He is really hoping that is not true as we know lots of VA kids who have been admitted with good solid records but not 2100+!!</p>
<p>I understand the need for test scores but it seems the last few years has seen a tremendous increase in scores at all the top universities. Our older child was a 2009 HS graduate and we were bombarded with the news that they would be the “biggest, most competitive” class in years - making the admissions process very stressful. Now, 3 years later, the same schools have even higher scores! I guess its a good thing we don’t have another child…</p>
