[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into UVA out of state, but chose the Ivy. They did not value Greek or rah rah experience though. If yours does, then maybe UVA is the better fit. [/quote]

Good GOD. Majority of UVA students are non-Greek. [/quote]

My DD didn’t even know Greek life existed at the school before she applied, and she got through just fine without ever getting involved.[/quote]

I mean the poster with no first hand knowledge of UVA who is dissuading OP‘s daughter from attending simply because she probably can’t get into the top sorority is ridiculous.[/quote]

I don’t know why you keep saying this, I know a number of kids attending UVA currently, all of whom, like op, are from Maryland.  That’s about as “first hand” as your knowledge based on in state kids who graduated at some unknown point in time .  I know kids currently at UVA unhappy with how rush went, there was a 33 plus page thread on this site where parents expressed their child’s unhappiness with rush at UVA.  Clearly, for some kids, rush at UVA falls short of their expectations.  I don’t doubt there are also kids for whom it goes well.   Op should consider both possibilities.[/quote]

How many kids at UVA do you actually know who are “unhappy with how rush went“ and why are they talking to you about it?[/quote]
