<p>It IS “super hard” to get over a 1400 on the SAT, Barq45, and as I just commented on another thread this is NOT among the tricks that an in state student probably needs to pull out of his or her sleeve to get into UVA. I’d appreciate Dean J’s view on this. Dean J, is it not a fact that there are many, many, many in state students at UVa, including Nova students, who don’t have 1400s on the SATs? In fact, isn’t it true that the MAJORITY of both in state and out of state students do not have these numbers? </p>
<p>It seems that no matter how hard UVa tries it cannot shake the view of so many students and parents that a ridiculously high SAT score is critical to admission.</p>
