[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why it rubs people wrong, but the fact is [b]UVA is more prestigious in the eyes of Andover graduates than a UNC or Michigan or UCLA.[/b] You can debate why they might be misguided, but it is a fact that the graduates do think that.[/quote] Sure. Of maybe there is just a well-worn pathway to UVA. My twins attend two different privates. At one, UVA is doable with a 3.8. At the other you really need a 3.9. Michigan is the reverse. The second school will take kids down to about a 3.7 while Michigan routinely requires a 3.9 from the first high school. Who knows why this is the case. Personal relationships between the local admissions rep and the high school(s) college counseling office? Experience with past grads (both positive and negative) from these high schools? In the world of private high schools relationships with colleges is a BIG factor that determines where kids apply. [/quote]
