[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There clearly is a huge acceptance rate in ED, so yes, there is an advantage.  Further, recruited athletes are told to apply EA so they are not in the ED applicant pool like they are at other schools.[/quote]

Doesn't mean there's an advantage, the pool could be stronger.[/quote]

If we are going by what Dean J says, EA is the strongest pool And it also is when athletic recruits apply.

I will say that UVA’s public statements about legacies also don’t seem to be a hundred percent accurate.

ED has the best admissions odds, by their own data, regardless of what the website says.[/quote]

The legacy stuff is weird.  They have an essay to talk about it but then say they don’t consider it or race. [/quote]

Yeah. That’s a “let’s see who are legacy are beyond your parents”- since parents education/alma mater is already in common app.[/quote]

UVA says that they are suppressing the common app info about parents so they won’t see it[/quote]
I don't think you have that right. It sounds like they removed a legacy yes/no question and instead added an open answer question.

What if I have a family connection to UVA?

Any applicant who has an historical family connection to UVA (i.e. child of a UVA graduate, child of a faculty member, descendant of an enslaved laborer, etc.) is invited to share information on their connection to the University in an optional question on the Common Application.[/quote]

They have explicitly stated in multiple info sessions that the parent education information from the common app is suppressed and that they won’t know if you are a legacy unless you write the optional essay [/quote]

But if you write you have a relative in the optional essay then they will practice legacy admissions.  You see the semantics?[/quote]
