[quote=Anonymous]I think it's silly to suggest that every student in VA is an idiot for not applying to UVA ED.  There are some students who have a legit shot at a higher ranked school and it makes more sense strategically to apply there ED.  For others, there's no chance of getting in ED and throwing an ED application at UVA is wasting an ED application at a more realistic school.

But if you're at the sweet spot it probably does make sense to do it.  UVA gets so much flack on this board and it makes no sense.  The only explanation that I can give, and I hate to say it, is jealousy.  We live in a competitive area.  DCUM is an extremely competitive website.  Parents frequenting the college forum on this website are even more competitive.  Many live or die for their kids to get into a "name" college.

UVA is certainly a "name" college.  It's certainly a hard admit.  And once you're in, and in state, it's a bargain price.  Combined, this makes it a very desirable school on DCUM.  And that leads to jealousy.
