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.

In the top 100 in math, there are about 5 women. High performing women indeed!

Women are just being coddled. Oh look, they have been discriminated in the past, let us make it super easy for them now.

Women have kids. I was a high achieving female. I beat out all the guys. Then I married a high achieving male and had kids. I never got to reach my full potential because I have 3 kids.

Can you morons stop going back and forth about male/female achievement on a UVA thread.

Kids are posting their results in r/uva more.

That's just yield protection.

Nope. UVA DOESN’T YIELD PROTECT. They are clear about that. Plus they don’t have to. High stats kids routinely elect UVA.

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.

There’s no way for us to compare people- but you know who can? The people reading the files- and they chose you!
Congrats!

Bingo!!!!

Yep! Huge achievement for those accepted. Congrats!

I 100% agree with your comments. I have posted as much on the boards here and have actually used the word "lottery" as it pertains to acceptances. I hear you and agree with you - I was just trying to post a nice sentiment as things were getting ugly here. It is still a big achievement - just as it is an achievement to apply and be considered because for the most part, those who are doing so are well within the stats of admitted students.

UVA is an awesome school with great alumni network. Hope kids who got in enjoy it! And if you didn't get in ED, good luck in next rounds. You may even end up at a higher ranked school, like UCLA or Michigan.

+1
You might even be able to get into an amazing school like an Ivy or top private which can't even be compared to a public like UVA.

Give it a rest already.

plus claiming a school is practicing yield protection in ED makes zero sense because those kids are yielding. They already promised to attend.

Congratulations to everyone that got accepted! And whatever the result here's hoping all of our kiddos find their perfect fit!

Gossip from DD, lots of girls getting in ED engineering,

This would be good. Every young woman I know from TJ who went off to UVA ... did not end up in STEM. It's like UVA sucked all the ambition out of them.

17 and 18yo aren’t kiddos. Please stop using this stupid word - it’s bizarre even when talking about younger children. And stop saying “littles” too.

I read something by Malcolm Gladwell about this idea. Hard to do STEM at an academic powerhouse.

The video of his lecture about this is online, search:
Malcolm Gladwell on why you should never study at an elite college, but should rather choose a college where you are sure you can be the top student in your program.
