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.

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.

You are totally incorrect. At the high end of achievement there are more men than 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%

And? You think more women should be admitted "because women are smarter" or something?

Roughly equal acceptance rates is what you would expect from roughly equally qualified applicant groups... Einstein.

This is outside this discussion but yes. Better applicants should have better representation in the applicant pool. This makes no sense as an argument.

That just isn’t true, nor is it corroborated anywhere. You’re like those annoying men who blabber about startup founders whenever people bring up that women are more educated than men. Why run from facts? I guess they’re inconvenient.

The actual facts that emerge from the people who have seen the entire applicant pool - i.e., not you - should make you question your premise that the women applicants were "more qualified". If men and women were admitted at equal rates (as they were) then this indicates they were equally qualified. But I understand it's more comforting for you to cling to the idea that there is some form of affirmative action for males happening. I definitely suggest you contact Dean J and ask her why she is admitting so many unqualified males. Is she one of those handmaidens of the patriarchy or something?

PS I'm sorry your DD got rejected.

I don't run from facts but you haven't produced any. All you've done is pooh-pooh facts that don't fit your preconceptions.

Why are people arguing about sex and intelligence? Is it the 1600s? Women and men are equally intelligent.

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.

Right back at you!

This was repealed in 2016 and was only a temporary policy, dimwit.

If your kid got in ED to UVA, I’m super proud of you!
There’s no way for us to compare people- but you know who can? The people reading the files- and they chose you!
Congrats!

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.

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

Oxford parent is one of my favorite characters on this show.

It’s really luck once you get to final numbers. Those who got in - it is great. Congratulations. But that doesn't mean your kid is “better” or “worked harder” than some of the kids who didn’t get in. A lot of great kids applied- sure, some were long shots but overall I’m sure a lot of amazing applications were read. Those who got in need to recognize the element of luck at some point too. The process has some randomness in it- it is ok to recognize that. It doesn’t mean I’m not happy for any kids who got in. It’s great. I think it seems too easy for people to forget the chance/odds element.
