<p>Novaparent’s got the right idea. </p>
<p>As for the SAT scores, it’s hard for me to comment because I don’t think in terms of 1600 or 2400. I personally (meaning, this is not UVa policy) look at the individual parts. I will say that having a section score that starts with a 5 or 6 doesn’t automatically send a student to the waitlist.</p>

Oh, a few of them have stories of me scolding them! One alumni I PMed recently though he was in trouble before he opened my message. </p>
<p>I’m all for passionate discussion. I even appreciate some snarky replies and some gentle teasing at times. i was just worried things were going to take a turn a little earlier.</p>
