[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA puts OOS legacy applicants in the instate pool of applicant where their odds of gaining an offer of admission are better. This is NO secret. It’s been this way for decades. [/quote] I’ve heard them say this isn’t the case at the alumni meeting. You have a better chance, but you aren’t counted as in state. [/quote] UVA has admitted they give extra consideration for OOS legacies (not a break on tuition). They also have been caught admitting they give HUGE advantages to big donors, but what else is new. Being an instate legacy isn't much of an advantage if at all. [/quote] Very very very old stories. IMHE with parents, UVA dropped the emphasis in legacy about 6 years ago. Many legacies have not been getting in. And, yes, the applicants are top stats students[/quote]
