Sure

...Sure? Who are you and why would you waste people's time with a comment like this. I am really disappointed that people here keep trying to push their agendas about everything on others. Me and DH met at UVA and our son desperately wanted to carry that on. It is unfair to treat that pain with scorn, because you have some skepticism for whatever reasons. This place is becoming rancid.

The PP said "sure" because she didn't believe it, and I don't either.

On the bright side, your DS is quite likely to find a satisfactory spouse at some other school.

You are disgusting. I really hate when people like you talk from your high chambers about who is and is not allowed to speak. UVA rejected multiple people at DC's school, he just had the highest stats, but now we are trying for the ivies and other top schools.

Sure. You're allowed to speak. And we're allowed to speak, too. We're allowed to express skepticism about a questionable claim.

Questionable is one way to put it. No way in the WORLD any sane person would expect anyone to believe that worthless made up blather. Did your son communicate his desire to commit arson in his personal statement? If not, I am not even considering the possibility this made up piece of garbage is real.

UVA is an elite school, up there with Harvard. Why are you surprised it is competitive?

UVa doesn't hold a lump of coal to Harvard in any regard. Keep your wild ideations to yourself.

I beg to to differ and I have persoective on both. I went to both Harvard undergrad and its Law School when there was much less political nonsense. Those years, especially law school, were the highlight of my life. I made friends who have stayed with me my entire life. But like many who attended Harvard, I felt the undergrad experience wanting.

My DD went to UVA in the same major as I so was able to compare syllibi and course of instruction. DD's undergrad education and experience at UVA was superlative to mine at Harvard. She is now at Oxford doing grad work in the same field - again mind blowing. She's now looking at law schools and prefers UVA Law, which is now ranked no 4, as is Harvard.

Times change. UVA undergrad is now 24 in the nation and no 4 for all publics in the nation. Harvard has its troubles right now.

Right...
Maybe you should re-read your daughter's syllAbi (not "syllibi") and hone your reading comprehension + second grade spelling skills.

You're a petty child

You people are so boring. UVa really is where you belong.

It’s Friday night. The troll are out.

"the troll are"

Keep it coming 'Hoos!

+1 playing football is good for the country

Great. But why is it important that they take spots at college over other kids? Why not just play pro then or play for fun and get into a college based on academic merit?

I recently read how much harder it is for football players to get into UVA than Duke and UNC. The admit standards for athletes are higher at UVA.

I read this too... forgot the name of the article but see if you can find it:

You win.

That's just yield protection.

You guys need to chill out and join a Northeastern or Emory thread where there is nothing but comity and serenity.

Thank you for sharing your "persoective"

When you can provide such perspective, you can comments on typos. Some of us can actually tell when a finger has slipped between the small letters on a phone. Shall we try for substantive remarks? Or would you like to remain infantile?

This isn't even a correct usage of the word infantile. A word to the (not so) wise: don't try to speak above your station.

Adults who actually care about intelligent discussion about the results should go to the megathreads on College Confidential and Reddit. I'm done with DCUM

Ahhh, there you are! No UVA thread would be complete with the wacky UVA / Rhodes booster. So tiresome yet highly entertaining.

DS just got her acceptance!! Unweighted GPA 3.64. Weighted GPA 4.15. SAT 1280 (only took once, submitted scores). Never had any doubts.

Athlete?

Those are such low stats for a top school? Did she apply TO? The UW is low too.

Y'all acting like UVA is Harvard or something.

It's a state school that accepts a wide range of kids.

Exactly. Stop pretending your school that gives guaranteed admission to 3.4 GPA community college students is somehow as good as top private universities/colleges. It isn't and never will be.

It sounds like you know nothing about UVA. Your ignorance is on full display.

Not the PP, but how is this false?

It is more competitive to get into a college as a woman than a man. A majority of colleges have affirmative action for male applicants to improve the gender ratio.

Maybe at other colleges but there is no "man advantage" at UVA.

16% more applications from women and only 1% higher acceptance rate for women than men. Women are, on average, better students academically. That is definitely affirmative action for men.

False. https://thejeffersoncouncil.com/probing-uvas-gender-gap-is-it-an-admissions-problem/

Right. And furthermore the generality that “Women are, on average, better students academically” is irrelevant to the select and very non-average group of kids who are UVA applicants. The men who apply to UVA are high achievers just like the women.

Hey Einstein. Their CDS is public and supported that 16% more women apply but the acceptance rates for men and women are different by only 1%

Thee are more high achieving women than men. At the high achieving spectrum, there are more women than men. Men only score better on the SAT, every other measure has more women than men in all strata of academic performance. You aren’t analyzing shit.
