[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing this thread pop up and every time I can't help but think who the hell does UVA think they are? You are a state school in a podunk town with a mediocre football team - basically a virgin who can't drive. AP's in all five or you're not good enough for us? Ok! I will make my way to all of the other amazing state schools in VA and not even apply to your boring, overrated school. Sit and spin, UVA. [/quote]

You have to be a kid. Have a hard time imagining an adult taking their time to write this. Appreciate the amusement though.[/quote]

Come on. No one has said "sit and spin" since the 80's. I'm obviously Gen-X. With a really smart kid, accomplished kid who couldn't care less about UVA. I'm just saying...there are some very twisted pairs of undies out there for a school that is not all that. Does Harvard deserve a wedgie? Probably. Yale? Likely. UVA? Absolutely not. [/quote]

And one more thing...if you live in Virginia, your tax dollars are supporting UVA. Every kid should have a shot at being accepted at a state school their tax dollars support. Even the ones who don't take five AP's and get all A's at the risk of losing their sanity. What about the kid who made wise choices about their course load because they love their sport and they work part-time and value being a human being on the weekends instead of spending hours and hours on homework, test prep, tutoring? That kid is trash to UVA. Think about it.[/quote]
UVA, W&M, and VT have programs that are selective. Everyone knows this.

If you want a state school in Virginia, you have a dozen other options. You don't have to participate in the super competitive admissions processes. [/quote]

Ok - I'm gonna move on and let y'all have your masochistic conversation about UVA's deliciously rigorous requirements for admission. If you're gonna use this as your dopamine fix though, please at least give a thought to how it's affecting your kid. [/quote]
