<p>Students in the honors program usually have 1450+ on their SAT and are in the top 5% of their graduating class. I received a 1480 on my SAT and that was the lowest of all of my friends in honors and all were well within the top 5% of their respective high school class. The standards for the business school honors program at BC, CSOM honors, are even higher (not sure what the OP’s daughter is in). Yes, I do understand that brilliant in-state kids attend UVA, obviously. But realistically, there is no denying that the caliber of the average in-state student is lower than the average out-of-state student. If an in-state student had the stats of an honors student at Boston College, as the OP’s daughter does, do you really think he/she would not be offered admission (excluding the wait list)? honestly.</p>
