[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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]

It isn't about knowing specific kids but instead about being exposed to different backgrounds, areas, traditions, etc. With the vast majority of those at UVA being from the same geographical area that is just not going to happen than it will at a school elsewhere. Nothing awful about that and I have had one attend and thrive at UVA but the logistics are what they are.[/quote]

Have said this a few times, falls on deaf ears, but NOVA is among the most diverse places in the country. You can find every ethnicity in large quantities. But you’re right, not alot of folks from Kansas.[/quote]

My DS was accepted from Nova but we aren’t even from this area so I don’t know that it would feel like a 13th year.  I guess it’s a coping method for those that didn’t get in to say that.  All the people we’ve met from this area, aren’t exactly from Virginia either.  [/quote]
