[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really difficult to get into UVA? Looks like a 40% acceptance rate in-state? [/quote]

No it's not. That's why all these UVA boosters are completely ridiculous! UVA is a safety school for strong VA residents. Sorry but it's the truth. If I had the money, I would definitely pick Georgetown over UVA. No question in my mind. [/quote]

You are correct.  It's a safety for strong VA residents.  But for the 1/3 of OOS students (and in the view of rest of the country), it's a selective school and just as difficult to get in as Georgetown.  I think that speaks to prestige outside VA.[/quote]

Laughably wrong.  The degree to which some are talking down UVA here speaks volumes about their jealousy.[/quote]

UVA is a safety for strong in-state students.  If you have 4.0 UW GPA or pretty close, it's a safety.  Naviance data proves this.[/quote]

Gee. On another thread a poster claimed that the average Fairfax county high school student has a 4.0[/quote]

Pretty close, mostly due to grade inflation/every kid deserves a medal.[/quote]
