Everyone thinks they are at a disadvantage.

That's only because everyone feels there is a high concentration of NOVA kids at UVA but they are not realizing that NOVA is the main population center of Virginia and is affluent so alot of kids from educated families, money to put into test prep, the best private schools etc.

My kid was speaking to someone in the Richmond area after ED decisions came out and he told my son that 10 kids were accepted ED at his school that day. We haven't even had 10 kids accepted YET in our NOVA public out of 75+ applications.

How would you even know this? Even the busiest of busybodies can't know the admissions results of an entire public school class.

+1
It always makes me laugh when posters claim to know exactly who from their kids’ high school was accepted where, and what the stats of all of them were. So absurd!

Well, if this rejection allowed for my in-state deferred from EA kid to get in RD, then I’d say good - that’s how it should be!

Engineering or CS? The seats were filled long ago. Once that happens, everyone is rejected, even kids with a 1600.

You have to look at the high school. In NoVA you will get accepted if you're in the top 10% of your high school so individual stats don't matter. Even though Dean J insists this is not true, every year the same thing.

That’s not true in our experience, no way, if it were 40 kids would be accepted per year at our Nova public. Our school usually has 15 or so accepted. I know Kids in the top 5% who are currently on the waitlist.
