[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legacy admissions was banned statewide by a bill signed by Youngkin. A new president at UVA can’t change that.[/quote]

The forces that pushed Ryan out removed a university president by federal pressure for the first time in the history of the United States. Do you think they care and or can’t use the same pressure to impact policy in VA? Wake up [/quote]

Of course they can, but why did Youngkin sign it in the first place? Honestly, legacy admission coming back would benefit my kids hugely. But if it means having to attend under the leadership of the Cooch, I think we’d pass.[/quote]

Another clueless poster.  The bump was never that big to begin with, and if you’re in state it was practically nothing.  “Hugely?”  Um, no. [/quote]

Not hugely as in, “my kid with a 3.0 is getting in.” But hugely, as in, if it came down to my kid vs another in their class, the kid with two parents, a grandparent, and several uncles and cousins as alums would get the nod.[/quote]

Legacy is parents.  That’s it.  Nobody gives a shit about uncles and cousins.  UVA is full of students whose cousins didn’t get in.  Get a grip.  You are waaay overestimating how legacy worked at UVA. [/quote]

Ok, fine. Then if it came down to my kid vs another in their class with equal stats, the one with two alum parents would be favored. Better? [/quote]
