This is a link from last year.

Can anyone who has actually seen the U-Va supplements in the common app confirm that there is till an optional "connection to U-Va" question.
For those of you whose kids did it last year, that was before the State law went into effect prohibiting state universities from considering legacy.

May your applicant have better reading comprehension than you do.
UVA has the same questions this year - hence why The College Essay Guy hasn't done an update.

Recommendation - Go create a Common App account for yourself, do a college search, chose UVA, open it, scroll down to wriring requirements and you will see that it says:

Writing requirements
Common App personal essay
Required

College Questions
1 Required Question

1 Optional Question

Additional Details

Writing Supplement
This college does not use a writing supplement for any additional writing requirements.

Then, go to the My Colleges tab.
Select UVA
Go to Questions
Scroll and you will see:

Optional: If you have a personal or historic connection with UVA, and if you’d like to share how your experience of this connection has prepared you to contribute to the University, please share your thoughts here.
