[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want Dean J’s cute little videos about their holistic approach and how they want to see this and that from a student. I don’t need dean j at all. For in state admissions I want a formula. Kid took these classes, got these grades, got that SAT, then guaranteed admission to UVA or WM or Vtech or whatever other VA state school, end of story. Otherwise you are not getting my tax dollars.

Sounds like what you really want is a guarantee that your kid gets into UVA.  Here's a cheaper, faster, more practical solution:  open your mindset to seeing success at many VA colleges.  Trust that your kid is capable enough to be successful wherever he or she goes!

It's liberating when you expand the number of acceptable pathways![/quote]

There is an admissions guarantee at UVA, but as PP have pointed out, a lot of people won't even consider it worthy of their kid. They list courses and grades needed for guaranteed admission.

Yes!  Secret is out![/quote]

[b] It is great there is such an option for kids who need more time to come up to speed academically or who are in a very unfortunate financial/personal position to start a four year college. It is silly to suggest this route to academically high achieving kids.

This is false.  It's a very sensible system and financially makes a lot of sense.  For some reason, it's just not popular on this forum.  In California, many TOP students go the community college transfer route (my cousin, included).  Many from my public high school did it.  https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/transfer-requirements/[/quote]

It’s a snob area.[/quote]
