[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can also say that Legacy means nothing at UVA. We support the school for the wonderful experience that my wife and I had (we met there 25 years ago) and have [b]gladly supported them not because we were trying to buy admissions for our children[/b]. If my kid wasn’t competitive OOS state with 1560SAT and 3.91 UGPA [b]then they can say goodbye to our support in the future[/b][/quote]

Maybe I’m failing at reading comprehension, but I don’t understand this. You weren’t supporting them to get your kid in, but if you’re kid doesn’t get in, you’ll stop supporting them?[/quote]

It's a cognitive dissonance many parents face, PP. I'm not the poster you replied to, but many people who are nostalgic for their school and wish to support it get disgruntled when they realize admissions have become so ultra-competitive that their very high-stats kids can't get in. I sympathize. I went to university in continental Europe, where it's free and there is no mechanism to donate, so I'm not in that mindset at all. I'm just relieved my kids are getting in somewhere decent - and aghast that I have to pay what a European would consider an astronomical sum for the privilege! :-)
