[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AO say a lot of things that aren’t true, numbers don’t lie.  It also isn’t true they won’t consider legacy, assuming your kid responded to the easy prompt.[/quote]

They responded to the essay and I thought they were considering.  On Dean J’s Instagram live today she said they aren’t “doing legacy” this year.  [/quote]

Ri[b]ght, but the are considering strength of tie to school or some such, i[/b]t’s all semantics.[/quote]

Not really.  It's all about whether or not you (legacy) want to mention it in the specific essay for this.  Otherwise, the readers do not know you are a legacy.[/quote]

Who knows how they will view the info though.  They won’t report it anywhere because it’s just part of the holistic review.  And unlike some schools, UVA doesn’t score each part of the application or weight parts more or less. They just read the whole app and make a decision.  No one is giving a numerical value.   So whether legacy or race gets a bump will never be known. And unlike race, the numbers will never even be reported because they aren’t collecting any data on legacy anymore.  [/quote]
