[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really luck once you get to final numbers. Those who got in - it is great. Congratulations. But that doesn't mean your kid is “better” or “worked harder” than some of the kids who didn’t get in. A lot of great kids applied- sure, some were long shots but overall I’m sure a lot of amazing applications were read. Those who got in need to recognize the element of luck at some point too. The process has some randomness in it- it is ok to recognize that. It doesn’t mean I’m not happy for any kids who got in. It’s great. I think it seems too easy for people to forget the chance/odds element. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid got in ED to UVA, I’m super proud of you! There’s no way for us to compare people- but you know who can? The people reading the files- and they chose you! Congrats! [/quote] Bingo!!!![/quote] Yep! Huge achievement for those accepted. Congrats![/quote][/quote] I 100% agree with your comments. I have posted as much on the boards here and have actually used the word "lottery" as it pertains to acceptances. I hear you and agree with you - I was just trying to post a nice sentiment as things were getting ugly here. It is still a big achievement - just as it is an achievement to apply and be considered because for the most part, those who are doing so are well within the stats of admitted students. [/quote]
