[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people accept being rejected by Harvard, MIT, CalTech, etc. But which school rejections are the hardest to accept? UVA? UCHICAGO? And why? [b]Do people on DCUM really believe these are any easier to get in?[/b] I've been following for about three years now and this time of year gets super salty[/quote]
Well, UVA has an acceptance around 25-30% compared to Harvard, MIT and Cal Tech less than 10%. So yes, UVA should be easier admit. [/quote]

OMG, I would be so embarrassed if my in-state kids hadn’t gotten into UVA. Newsflash: it is a public university and designed specifically to admit students from Virginia. Of course they got in and of course they both turned it down. It is a total safety school. Luckily our investments have done very very well, so our kids ended up going to Brown and Princeton.

Embarrassed? UVA is a top 25 school! Which happens to save in-state families $250k compared to schools like Wake Forest, which is ranked way lower. So no, not embarrassed. And there are plenty of kids at our son’s large NoVa public that were not admitted.[/quote]

Don’t feed obvious trolls. [/quote]

You can tell from the comments here over just the past few days that the kids are on break now.[/quote]
