[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has no interest in UVA but I think some of that is oppositional as that is indeed the school held up as the end all, be all at her large FCPS high school. Her preference is urban out of state. [/quote]

We are at a more diverse public high school (45% low income) and there is a lot less talk about UVA. A lot of the kids are worried about not getting into Tech and don’t even consider getting into UVA. I have a high stats DD who ED’d there and I do worry that she is a bit naive about what the social scene will entail. She thinks it’s what she wants socially (fun and spirited with lots going on) but how could she really know?

I worry, but I’d worry anywhere. Are there some sororities that are “less crazy” than the other ones? Or are they all crazy? I didn’t do a sorority but she says she is interested. I wish she wouldn’t but trying to let go.[/quote]

My daughter is at UVA - graduated from a high school like the one you’re describing. High stats, rigor, etc. 
She did pledge a sorority but it isn’t one of the so-called top tier. It doesn’t seem “crazy” but who knows? At least they don’t rush until second semester. She can see how it goes first semester. There are lots of different activities and ways to meet people. [/quote]
