Congrats!  The ECs are amazing![/quote]

Thanks- all him.  Frankly, I kept hoping he'd get a B or two and take some pressure off himself, they pressure each other and social media is constant and unrealistic.
We stayed out of it except for supporting his decision not to ED despite pressure from school college counseling and his choice to apply to more reaches than she recommended.  Turns out he was right, he had better outcomes in what the school deemed "far reaches" than the ones they had as targets (Tufts, Tulane, CMU)   [/quote]

In-state for UVA?[/quote]

In state UVA would be hard to pass up[/quote]

Not really. It’s passed up all the time for Ivies, T10s and top SLACs. UVA is a big public. It’s not the same. A good value, yes. [/quote]

For Harvard, Princeton or Yale...Yes.  Not the others for me.  I'm not from Virginia and no dog in the game, but I couldn't justify the cost difference.  That's just me.   [/quote]

If you were in Virginia and had experienced one child at UVA, another at (top5LAC) and another at (ivy in the T10) then you would not question it at all. Cousins have one at a "lower-3" ivy and one at UVA, good family friend has one at UVA and one at WashU. It is night and day between UVA and most T20 privates/very top LACs.[/quote]
