[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of people moved to Virginia, the state legislature doesn’t fund public colleges like they used to, so OOS admits/enrollment have to go up to make up for that. Also, legacy admissions are verboten now. I’m sorry, but lots of us are in the same boat with you.[/quote]

Yes.

1/2 of a UVA Double legacy here.

Our second kid, solid stats but not top-tier, just got rejected from UVA. EC's were light and given that legacy no longer factors in, not necessarily a surprise. B

Our oldest, a college senior this year, also got denied back in 2020. 4.0 GPA, advanced coursework, tons of EC's and student leadership, high achieving varsity/club athlete since 8th grade. Even did three years of the UVA Summer Enrichment Program. That one was a surprise.  [/quote]

Did you apply ED/EA?  In order to be considered, most entrants are picked during those rounds.  It is UVA's way of yield protecting , though UVA does not call it that. Also, PP who mentioned DEI is accurate, because UVA has some history to try to correct (or at least appear to be correcting).  [/quote]
