[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year and last year I have known many JMU educated parents who are sending their kids to UVA. I also know several UVA educated parents whose kids were rejected from UVA.

I don’t know if this is just a fluke in my experience, but it seems UVA really is honoring the legacy ruling change from last year. [/quote]

Agreed - I know several legacy kids that were denied.[/quote]

It’s different in our circle. Of all the kids my Dc knows who have gotten in, only 1 is not a legacy. All the other non-legacies were deferred. It may not “count”, but the connection to UVA essay does come into play. [/quote]
And they had nothing else going for them, right?

Can we acknowledge that these kids probably had great applications? [/quote]

Of course they had great applications. The connection essay is the cherry on top. [/quote]

Why do they offer this essay if legacy isn’t considered? At the info session, they mentioned writing about a summer class you take at UVA. Besides being a descendent of the slaves that built UVA, a legacy or taking a class or camp, is there another creative way to respond to this essay? [/quote]

Dean J mentions learning about summer programs she did not know existed from this essay. DD attended a summer program, but did not think it was worth discussing and left the essay blank. Admitted OOS[/quote]
