[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of those people became millionaires because of family money? What you should be asking is which universities have produce the most self-made entrepreneurial successes?

In the end, I think the answer is in the person, and not the school. People are so convinced that a certain school will guarantee success and that is simply not an indicator of success.[/quote]

[b]That's why UVA shows up. They're the most privileged public school in the country as measured by percent of students from the top 1% and 20% by household income. It's a natural consequence of a wealthy student body, not anything indicative of itself. [/quote][/b]

Sources please.

UVA as a state flagship cannot by definition be inundated with wealthy kids. Admission is strictly merit, as you know, with the very rare exception of a mommy or daddy who gives $1M. You must have the test scores to get in and a string of impressive accomplishments. Here is President Teresa Sullivan's remarks at convocation for the class of 2021. Thirty eight percent of the students are participating in the University’s AccessUVA financial-aid program and 570 are the first in their families to go to college. Please don't comment when you don't know anything about the school. 
You made identical comments in another thread about wealthy students at UVA. 
I will now go post this over there. 
If necessary, I'll ask Jeff to ban you. 
It's irresponsible of you to make claims without substantiation and hurt the reputation of a fine institution trying to reach out to internationsl students, (73 countries); students of color; students of no means (my kid); students from all the other states.

[b]UVA has holistic admissions as opposed to strictly merit based. I know someone who was admitted with around 1620/2400 SAT and around 3.8 weighted GPA with no hooks, no ECs, no awards nothing.[/quote][/b]

Idle rumor-mongering of an unsubstantiated third-party case is not a "source".  I asked for sources for your comment.[/quote]
