[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD waitlisted at Case Western. She keeps getting emails asking if it's her first choice, and she says yes. Her stats are way higher than CW's averages, yet they put her on the waitlist. I suspect it's because she didn't visit the school. She was hoping to get accepted before visiting. She's already accepted UVA, but still would go to Case if they accepted her. This waitlist thing is strange. [/quote]

If you’re a VA resident sticking with UVA is a no brainer.[/quote]

Why is it a no brainer? Cost isn't everything.[/quote]

UVA is a far better school. I also find it strange to consider Case for anything in comparison to UVA.[/quote]

Why consider a school other than UVA? For so many, the experience of meeting people from different parts of the country and living in a new area is an extremely positive one for growth and development. For the N. VA student, UVA really is "the 13th year of high school".[/quote]

Whether your kid "knows" them or not is not the issue.  "the 13th year of HS" simply means that UVA is an environment that has a lot of kids from NoVA that are very similar to all the kids you went to HS with.  Whether it's your HS or the neighboring one, there are a lot of kids from NoVA at UVA.  Go out of state where there is a different blend of students and your kid will meet different people from different walks of life.

My DS doesn't even know the kids in his own school that got accepted to UVA too.   I think there's only 6 of them too.  That's not exactly the 13th year of HS>  [/quote][/quote]
