If your flagship had auto-admit for top 6%

Also, UVA has been gradually expanding its class size. In 1991, 2,539 kids enrolled. In 2006, 3,091 did so. This year (2020), 3,785 enrolled. So, over 30 years, UVA has expanded its class size by 1,246 students, or about 50%. Given that four classes are on campus any given year, and that’s 5,000 more undergraduate kids on campus.


Still too small for the flagship university in Virginia. But I get it. NOVA parents like that it’s small so they can brag to others how hard it is to get in.

If you want to grow UVA to Michigan’s size, you obviously don’t understand what makes UVA unique - the academic village. And, if you don’t care about that, you don’t really care about UVA, so why would you want your kid to go there. Sounds like you want the prestige, but that’s it. By this rationale, W&M should be 30,000 too, but again, that would totally change the character of the offering. Please go elsewhere.

I suspect a UMD supporter.
