[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has been soaring to new heights.  This thread seems like sour grapes.  Haters:  Just bloom where you are planted—even if the UVA rejection hurts for awhile and has left you feeling embarrassed in front of gleeful classmates who are accepted and can’t stop talking about it.  Be magnanimous in defeat.[/quote]

[b]My DC attend Ivys so I don’t have a horse in this race but I must say that comments like yours are truly pathetic and given their frequency I’ve come to have a very low opinion of UVA parents.  One can only hope that the children aren’t as embarrassing as their parents.[/quote][/b]

Why is the comment "truly pathetic"?  She or he is just explaining why this thread exists.  She doesn't even say she's a UVA student or parent - you jumped to that conclusion to insult her and assume she's a UVA parent.  I see her post as trying to temper the sour grapes.  We should all be magnanimous.  OP starts a hostile thread and a lot of people responded - they could be UVA - they could not - they could be Va Tech having fun.  And I noticed what you did with the "Dc attend Ivies" comment.  You're as bad as the "pathetic" UVA parents you want to see in this post.[/quote]
