[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EA apps up around 37% over last year. Big jump - dropping supplementals really did the job. Looks like ED not much of a benefit in-state but huge out of state.[/quote]

It’s a cheap trick they used. My kid was thrilled to not send off a quick application, but she has no chance of getting. [/quote]

No, not at all!  It was in NO WAY some sort of cheap trick!!

Look, the 2 dropped supplementals were always variations on the same two themes every year:

1) tell us about your family connection to UVA (if any) or what UVA means to you personally. And

2) portions of The Grounds sit atop land which was once a slave plantation; write a reflection of what that means to you personally.

UVA was forced into dropping legacy, as they should; all public universities should drop legacy entirely from admissions consideration.  Legacy is pure nepotism. And,

UVA was also under investigation for racial discrimination in admissions and hiring.  It was no secret UVA discriminated against certain racial groups by judging students on the color of their skin instead of their academic merit alone.  In other words, the racism known as DEIA.

The second essay prompt was pure DEIA. It had to be scrapped.

Neither supplemental essay should have ever existed in the first place. [/quote]
