You are wrong - lots of kids in the northeast applies to UVA

Yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about.

There is not DACA box on college applications.

Again, those students can not receive federal student aid. There is literally no avenue for that money to get to them. A school could give them merit money.

You do know that DREAMERs registered under DACA so they could legally hold jobs, right? They don't make memes about this, so you will have to read something without pictures to understand this.

Then explain how UVA wound up a world-class school on this ranking system for global recognition. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/671264.page. No one pays attention to WSJ.


UVA is not recognized as an elite university globally. Berkeley, UCLA and Michigan are recognized as elite institutions globally.

UVA is filled with rich kids. It's the least socioeconomically diverse flagship university in the country. The average household income for a student at UVA is the top 19 percentile. No
top public enrolls more students from the top 1%. Couple that with the fact it is one of the larger schools and of course it'll show up.

Those billionaire rankings speak nothing about the institution itself.

Uh. You know DREAMERs pay tuition, right? They aren't allowed to get federal student aid, but schools can give them their school-specific aid. Only students with US citizenship can get federal aid money.

My gosh, if you're going to complain about immigrants and financial aid, at least do some basic reading about how things work.

The problem is that, as with many students, there are people in CA who only see a few of the public universities as "respectable" options. There's probably room for every CA student who wants to go to college to go...but they all can't go to Cal and UCLA.

All the California public schools should be dropping. We flew out there to see if my daughter should apply and it is pretty obvious that the schools are having budget troubles more severe than in some of the other states.


Why should California multi-gen middle class get soaked supporting a University system their kids get rejected from in favor of fresh off the boat Chinese/Korean kids and DREAMERS who don't pay a cent for tuition? It's insane that residents can build up a college system for multiple generations and then their kids can't get in.
