[quote=Anonymous]DP than above - DH and I are alums and loved our time there. Regardless, I can see that it’s not the best fit for my DD, who still has a couple years until college. She’s very bright, has good grades etc but is really really put off by people who think they are smarter or better than others. Those people exist everywhere, but they are in higher numbers at a T25 school. Not singling UVA out for that. Generally, the vibe is a striver vibe. And there is a lot of pressure to work hard, play hard, be fit, be fashionable, etc etc. I know there are plenty of people who don’t follow that dominant culture but it is there. I think my kid would be happier at a school where they fit the dominant culture, slightly more relaxed, rather than have to find her people on the sides. That doesn’t bother me or DH one bit. There are plenty of places to get a good education and be ready for the future. We aren’t going to push UVA. [/quote]
