[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found UVA didn't even have its act together arranging a campus visit. They were very confused, and disorganized. That was a big warning sign. My kid chose VT, which had its act together, no problem scheduling a campus tour. Like clockwork. Kid couldn't be happier there.[/quote]

We went to UVA campus event on a Saturday and had the same impression-  they just didn't have their act together.  The administrators/speakers seemed so unprepared. The panel of students couldn't answer the question "Why did you choose UVA?"  One actually said, well, it was the school that came up on my Questbridge so I clicked it.  One said they didn't even come to campus, but that they applied because everyone else in their school did.  They had all of us in the auditorium walk up 2 flights of stairs to go to a room where they served snacks... but they ran out of food before getting through the long line of people waiting outside. Hmmm. Wouldn't they have known how many people were going to be at the event?

Sunday we went to VT, in a huge auditorium with a lot more people They managed the crowd so incredibly well. We went to 3 presentations and they were all well-planned and really good. I didn't expect to like VT at all and came away with such a good impression.

Something I've noticed on this thread is that some of the UVA parents are so defensive and rude, calling other posters morons and liars. What is up with that? And what's up with "you're just bitter your kid didn't get in"   Is this usual talk?

And no, my kid didn't get rejected.
