She has no way of knowing that.

+1. It’s very bad form on a post about GETTING IN to UVA that a mom posts sour grapes about not getting in .. and of course “it wouldn’t have been a good fit” - OK, if true, then then why did you ever apply? Why dirty up a thread about those getting excited about getting in with such negativity?

Ok, Tracy. I’m not dirtying up a thread. I’m preparing applicants for the likelihood of a rejection - as many more kids are rejected from UVA than accepted. They are great kids, too - and will find their place. Heaven forbid I voice an opinion that life can be great at schools other than UVa.

That could be said about any school with a low acceptance rate, so why single out UVA? Do you write that on every HYPS thread?

Regarding the OP’s question, are ED decisions tomorrow? Still just a rumor?

+1. Exactly. So what mom isn’t saying is that she’s paying $96k a year for private or $80k OOS public and kid either didn’t get into UVA ( only $40k) or (like my kid) didn’t have to record to be a contender. Or her kid did get in and they let her make a catastrophic financial decision of a difference of $56k a year x 4 = $224 loss). So she has to spew hate

Maybe if you’re only interested in the tippy top very competitive clubs, sure you might feel this way. But my kid and several friends are having the time of their lives and cannot fit in all the things they want to do! It’s a gem of a place. Good luck!

+1 I could’ve written this! Good luck all!

DP. Are you... actually comparing UVA to HYPS? The acceptance rates aren't even in the same stratosphere.

Let’s discuss Harvard’s recent track record with hiring presidents.

Wasn’t Harvard at the root of the catastrophic loss for DEIA in the 2023 S.Ct. precedent Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ?

Harvard still clings to its elitist and anachronistic tradition of legacy admissions for up to 30% of each years’ incoming class.

Yes. It’s essentially a day-care for nepo-babies.

No, I’m making fun of the poster who seems to think seniors can’t handle a college rejection.
