[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am upset that UVA makes it so competitive for NoVA kids. They should admit based off merit. It is insane that high GPA, high test score kids get rejected, but then weaker profiles from other parts of the state get in.[/quote]

That’s a myth.  More than 1/2 of the in state students are from NOVA.  [/quote]

+1.

I went to UVa and found it was really NoVA HS v2.0.  More than half the students in my dorm building were from Fairfax County, Arlington, or Alexandria.  If one added in PW, Loudoun, it would be even more.  And that still is not counting the numerous students from Montgomery County or NW DC.

People hear flagship public and think large.  For a flagship public, UVa is pretty small by undergrad student numbers, despite having grown repeatedly since the first big expansion in roughly 1969-1970…. I think VT might have roughly double the number of undergrad students as UVa at this point.  [/quote]

There’s not a dorm at UVA where more than half the students are from Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria.  You are either lying or mistaken.   [/quote]

+1. My Langley kid never saw the few others from her class who got on.  Off the top of my head I think 15 got in and four went, the others going Ivy or SLAC. My private kid never saw the other two from his private. There ARE 26,000 students down there, including grad students. My kids’ roommates were from Alaska, Texas, Newport News, Georgia. Three international. Not one from NOVA[/quote]

Now bullshit in the opposite direction.   Way more than 15 a year get into UVA from Langley and way more than 4 go.  Cmon guys keep it honest.  [/quote]

I'm another Langley parent and you are correct.  "The few others from her class who got in" made me laugh.[/quote]

Their IG page has 9 kids going to UVA, guess all the rest just weren’t very proud of it.[/quote]

You know many kids don’t ever bother with the IG page, right?   :roll: [/quote]
