UVA can be generous with aid.


UVA is only generous with in-state students. Most OOS still have to pay the full price.

False. The opposite is true

Depending on your major, publics may simply be better. Example: CS at UMD vs Tuffs. Math at Virginia Tech vs Bard.

Yes but UVA is the same tuition oos as a private, unlike the schools you mentioned. It is private school tuition for a state flagship, no matter how you dress it. UVA is a reach for everyone, but if strong oos students have a private choice of similar caliber, they take it. This is why UVA’s oos yield is so low.


That's fair - for a similar caliber (or better) private I agree.

Oos depends not only on the state but on the number of applicants from your school. Out of state from MCPS is incredibly hard because there are so many alumni kids. One of my kids got in quite a few years back but ended up going to one of the top liberal arts colleges because they wanted a smaller environment. I actually had the feeling that my kid was accepted more for their profile (awards and leadership) than actual scores, although those were fine. Back in the day, my sibling was turned down at UVA oos from NY and went to UPenn. I think the school only takes oos kids who add something tangible to the school: an unusual state, an amazing award, a gifted profile. I think the stats listed could just as easily be accepted as waitlisted depending on the rest of the profile.

I always find the niece and nephew posts so weird. Why would an aunt or uncle know the GPA, test scores and number of APs of a niece or nephew? That’s obsessive at a whole new level.



They’re lying. It’s their son or daughter but being anonymous is not enough for most of us. We switch pronouns and relationships in our posts.


Not necessarily. Some siblings are very close and talk about this stuff.



Some of us actually help out our relatives. I prearranged a special campus interview and tour for niece. I flew to California and drove her to my college for the interview. Meanwhile the VP of the college wined and dined me and asked me to join “the President’s Circle” or whatever which meant $5k out of pocket. So not only do I know my niece’s scores I even know what she said to the AO during her interview
