[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread and the posts herein illustrate it is not the boosters but the haters that are a problem.  As a parent who’s child strived hard to secure admission - I just find all of this is in poor taste.  Not that it should matter to the haters.  Hope you can fill up on your diet of hate and step away for a few days.  If not then keep it coming - if it boosts your self-esteem then so be it. [/quote]

Congrats to your student, pp.    I am a PA native and MD resident.  I just don't understand the hate.

UVA was my first choice back in the 80's.  I did not get in (and happily attended my 2nd choice).

My boss at my first (DC area) job attended a different VA university.   We were talking one day and UVA came up.  I was like, oh, my first choice, blah blah blah.  He looked at me and said, if you had gone to UVA and I saw that on your resume, I would not have interviewed you.      He was a very down to earth soft spoken nice guy, around 30 and married to a Mary Washington (place where you board a horse?) grad.   I was taken aback and thought he was joking.  He was not.   I think of that exchange when I read some of these threads.   [/quote]

NP. Yep, UVA does not have a... stellar reputation (let's just say that) among a significant subset of employers.[/quote]
