She was an UMC white girl with no hooks, average excurriculars, a weighted GPA of just over a 4.0 (9 or 10 APs with plenty of Bs) and had a superscored SAT no higher than the mid-1200s. Granted, she got in off the waitlist, but still, I’m sure she wouldn’t have a prayer today.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, she ended up doing just fine academically, has lots of good memories, made some good friends that she still keeps in touch with and is happy enough that she went there, but all in all she wasn’t blown away by the experience. Her older sister feels exactly the same way.

Do go away, this is 2022. Your children’s experiences are 100% irrelevant.

Look, I said upfront that my daughter wouldn’t get in today. And judging from the other response I got to this thread my daughter’s experience there still IS relevant and not that different.

I hope your kid doesn’t get in.

I'm not the pp. Your post about your daughter getting in 10 years ago was not helpful at all. It makes people feel bad.

I said I was giving perspective. My goal wasn’t to make people feel either bad or good. I don’t really care what you think. I also wanted to let folks know that UVA isn’t the greatest place in the world regardless and that their kids will survive if they don’t get in.

I get that what you were responding to was on the rude side, but this is a pretty harsh statement.

I hope your kid doesn’t get in.
