[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once tonight’s results get posted, many of you will become rage monsters against UVA. I’ve followed these college threads for several years and nothing seems quite as triggering as a rejection from UVA, especially for well-qualified students. Good luck![/quote]

If tonight is a rejection (and based on the percentage of EA deferred kids who get in, that is by far the most likely outcome at this point), I am going to be annoyed [insert stronger language here].  Kid goes to a large Arlington HS, has a 3.96 GPA/4.53 wGPA, a 35 ACT, is a full IB-diploma candidate, has taken 5 AP classes plus a Dual-Enrollment class, is an Eagle Scout, a varsity athlete, and a super strong club sport athlete as well.  Other than applying ED, not sure what else he could have done.  Based on the Naviance scatterplots, it should not be a close call (nothing but green below and to the left of his spot), but I suppose we'll see in a few hours.[/quote]

This is my kid.  Waitlisted.  Honestly kind of stunned.[/quote]

Sorry to hear. I know two kids who are first years who came off the waitlist last year... it can happen. Hate to say it but yeah ED was the way to go for sure. Hindsight is 20/20.[/quote]

Based on numbers I’ll be surprised if they go to the WL.[/quote]
