[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, my DD had a 4.0 (U)/4.3 (W) after her freshman year.  That is the max she could get without gaming the system.

Sophomore year, she ran into some roadblocks.  I am really proud of the way she felt with them -- she had to work through some issues.  Her GPA for the sophomore year is 3.7U/4.0W.  UVA may or may not be in play, but frankly, I do not think the social scene at UVA is heathy, with the frat culture.  W & M, maybe.    But with her diagnosis, (during the year:  HFA), she would be better served at a smaller school.  (W & M would probably be ok).

Find the school that is right for your daughter.  UVA/W & M are excellent schools, but might not be right for her.  (My DD is fascinated by RPI).[/quote]

Lol I’m sure you thought UVA was fine when DD had a 4.3.  Now all the sudden it’s too fratty.   [/quote]

UVA grad here. It is too fratty. I will be actively discouraging my child from attending. [/quote]

My kid graduated this year from high school with 4.0/4.5 GPA and was admitted to UVA with full academic scholarship. She thought the same thing about UVA as a first poster. It is fratty and not very challenging in her field. I am glad she chose a different school. [/quote]

The only full academic scholarship to UVA is the Jefferson Scholarship. It's a long, extremely competitive process to be chosen. No one goes through that without knowing already they want to go to UVA.

You're full of crap.[/quote]

Nope, you are incorrect and your language is totally inappropriate by the way. We attended UVA on admitted students day and there were a special event for kids who received academic scholarships. Most of them were not Jefferson Scholarship recipients.

By the way, my kid didn't apply for this scholarship. She received Rodman Scholarship first (but it is like Ecole, comes with no money). Then, in mid April, we received email from UVA with the scholarship offer. There were no special application involved. You are so uninformed.[/quote]
