[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. UVA is basically a cult. You have to buy in to a group-think culture, like: The Honor Code is good because it enables any three kids to sit in a room and get a fourth kid (that they dislike) kicked out. And, not having to carry ID in order to cash a paper check is excellent preparation for life. 2. False exclusivity. UVA admission from NoVa is extremely competitive, due to the low price tag, because UVA basically doesn't want NoVa applicants any more. UVA would prefer applicants with 3.4 GPAs from Goochington County 4H over 4.1 applicants from Arlington AP programs. NoVa is basically for taxation, not admission. So getting into UVA from NoVa has become a bit of a curiosity. But that's geography, not merit. [/quote] Complete garbage and you know it. [/quote] True. Complete garbage. Average GPA is 4.23 and average ACT is now 31-34 DS got in and was a 36. 94% of the students are the top 10% of their classes.[/quote]
