Why wouldn't every resident of VA apply ED to UVA?

| It's such a prestigious school and a great, affordable education IF you can get in in-state. Why wouldn't every VA res shoot their shot ED unless they're hell bent on spending more money? |

| Because not everyone wants to go to UVA. Neither of my kids were remotely interested. |

| Because my child is more interested in VA Tech, since he wants to study engineering. |

| Because it is still expensive for many and they need to know if they can get aid or merit from other schools before committing. |

| Only the top kids can get in. Not "every". |

| Because my kid’s not 100% sure if they actually want to go there. They want to compare options. |

Adding that both parents are alums. It’s a fine place, but it’s not the end-all, be-all for every kid. |

| I don’t know, it’s a good question. If we lived there my kids would pick either uva or vt. But we chose to live in Maryland for some unknown reason. |

| based on the common data set they dont grant admission to every resident in VA therefore if you don't have the grades and rigor its a waste of an ED. |

If they have the resume for t20 privates and come from middle class, financial aid at those schools dwarf that given out by UVA. |

Translation: they couldn't get in |

| UVA has a certain snobby reputation in Virginia, so if you aren't a certain type of person you might not be interested. I was never interested and only focused on W&M. |

DP. Stop with this. I’m the alum from a few posts up and I totally understand why some fully qualified kids aren’t interested. |

That’s a weird take. Why do you think every kid is going to want to go to UVA? It’s a great school, but it’s not going to be the right school for everyone. |
