I have mixed feelings. DC is in at Michigan, but was going to feel pressure to go to UvA. I think Michigan wins in every category, but tuition and maybe weather. DC never lived UVA, but applied bc it made sense. Am I bummed, relieved or both?

It's all good news as your DC can move forward on their college journey! My DD has made the decision that a deferral means she will go where she's been accepted and is excited about that! She will not be waiting for the next round. Congrats to all the new Hoos!

Michigan is fantastic. She can move ahead with it as her top choice and if Virginia comes through, she can re-evaluate. Congratulations on Michigan!

+1. In-state VA friend was waiisted at UVA but in at Michigan. She was a week into classes at Michigan when she was admitted to UVA. She packed up and went to UVA and never looked back (and her parents were thrilled with in-state tuition.

So does Maryland

Virginia has 44 public institutions of higher learning. Maryland has only one worth attending.

SAT1590. WGPA 4.7. Average EC.

Strongly disagree. UVA is a great value. Compare $40k all in to $96k for USC or $94k for my SLAC. That's a delta of $224k. If paying out of taxable income you would have to make $300k or more to fund the difference. Instead we banked the difference, which compounded, so now can pay for law school. I am very grateful for VA's in-state schools, whoch all of my children attended.

As i sure you know, getting in UT from out of state is extremely impressive especially early and this year. Major? Congrats wherever your kid goes

even if this was in the 90s, this couldn’t happen. I was waitlisted myself and they sent a letter in the summer saying it’s over.

+ 1. There are so many holes in this story.
The parents were excited about in state tuition but also clearly signed a contract to pay the first year OOS at Michigan? And the slot was still available at uva?

This. Already paid the full fall tuition, moved kid to Michigan, moved her out, paid second fall tuition at UVA, and had the kid miss a week of school and orientation at UVA?

It’s definitely a fake story from a UVA booster.

It may be an old story. I got off a wsitlist for law school when I had already started elsewhere (was in orientation week). But that was the 90s.

Any sense of what percent they defer. They admitted 25% instate. What percent do they defer? Ballpark guess?

I've seen this story repeated in other UVA threads on this board and College Confidential.

If you agreed to the installment plan, withdrawing from Michigan only costs a couple of months' installment. And the contract is for the university to provide an education and ultimately a diploma, not for the student to attend (LOL!).

From your comments you sound relieved. Accepted OOS at Michigan and deferred in state UVA…goes to show you just how hard it is to get in at UVA. Coveted acceptances for those who really know and appreciate the school.

opposite here. OOS accept to Virginia, oos deferral to Michigan, oos rejection to UNC.

Yep, been there.

2021 FCPS DS 1 was 1480 SAT, 4.2 WGPA, 11 APs, average ECs - admitted Michigan, rejected UVA

2024 FCPS (same school) DS 2 was 1500 SAT, 4.2 WGPA, 12 APs, average ECs - admitted UVA, rejected Michigan

FWYW, both had 3 years of one foreign language and 2 years of another foreign language
