[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VA parents with subpar kids REALLY need to stop complaining about UVA admissions.  If they doubled the size of the school or limited OOS enrollment so your kids could get in it wouldn’t be the same school AT ALL.  There are plenty of other perfectly fine in state options.  Leave the elite to the elite.  [/quote]
100%.  My 3.96/4.52, 1560, NMSF would have been a huge drag on the institution.[/quote]

Are you saying that your kid with those stats did not get in? What kind of extracurriculars did they have? Were they just an egg head and nothing else?[/quote]
Engineering waitlist last year. Varsity athlete, leadership in 2 clubs (founded one), CS related internship with a small non profit, self taught musician, PT retail employment. Did NOT take AP English??  He's doing fine. Family a tad bitter.  :wink: [/quote]

Didn’t take AP English?  Yea that was a mistake.  [/quote]

That’s definitely a mistake for UVA. Even for engineering they like to see AP English. [/quote]

Yes, and this is why you have to take the posters who claim that their perfect child did not get into UVA with a grain of salt.  Dig a little deeper and there’s always a major deficiency in their applications.[/quote]
PP, I warned him in 10th grade when he was registering for classes this would likely be an issue. Theres no digging. I offered the information and [b]fully anticipated all you Karens would start [/b]piling on.[/quote]

and there it is - kid was unfortunately raised by "that" kind of parent who uses tired, overused trendy terms that highlight their attitude and outlook
do better PP[/quote]
