The other red flag I noticed were flat out rejections on great students for UVA early action. But then lesser kids accepted under regular admission. I mean like not that impressive. That really has me confused. [/quote]
[b]Must have had crappy essays and/or LOR. Yes, this is possible even for great students.[/quote][/b]

Or UVA is practicing yield protection, knowing these students will go IVY.[/quote]
This is what people who think it's all about GPA and SAT tell themselves when their kid doesn't get into a top school. Essays matter at those places. Teachers do have an effect. be careful about passing that attitude on to your kid because it might show up in those essays and letters.[/quote]

I am surprised people would apply EA and not do a great essay. Why bother?  UVA is definitely all the place at our school. Some average scoring kids get a yes and top of the scales gets no. I will say I appreciate that more than Yale who looks like they take the highest GPA/test combo and decline the rest. We have only had one admitted each year the last 5 years. Always the tippy top student. The ones almost as close? Denied. Wonder if they even look at anything else, especially curriculum. [/quote]
