[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]^^ sorry, meant UVA's rate.  Yes I can explain.  We just went thru the process for the second time.  It goes sorta like this.  Langley and McLean have a senior class of 400-500 and one college counselor.  You go in to talk to the counselor about colleges and universities you think would be good for daughter.  Counselor has all of daughter's grades and school-related EC in front of her.  I ask - after she suggests expensive privates - is she a candidate for UVA?  Couonselor says no - you need over a 4.0 and daughter is a 3.5.  You agree on which schools to apply and counselor arranges for the transcripts and letters of recommendations to go to those schools.  UVA comes on campus and counselor notifies the 60 in the class who are ranked at the top of the class.[/quote][/b]

This also happens at private schools. There was a poster last week complaining that DS was allowed to only apply to ten schools and all of those will be reasonable fits. [/quote]

Thank you everyone for taking the time to help explain to me. I am shocked at this scam that only benefits the college and high school numbers. At first I have decided none of my children will apply to UVA; but further thinking, all my children will apply to UVA and decline to attend so it will ruin their yield percentage. [/quote]

If you aren't top 10% don't apply to UVA you won't get in

What I don't get is why some of you don't move to say Prince William County and then your kid would be a shoein[/quote]
