I don’t know if this is just a fluke in my experience, but it seems UVA really is honoring the legacy ruling change from last year.


Agreed - I know several legacy kids that were denied.


Good.

Mommy and daddy went to the college. The kid did not.

-lots of volunteering (presidents service award)
-4 years of FL




What is FL


Foreign Language - sorry. Lots of debate about whether 3 years or 4 years helps. I do think showing max rigor in as many core areas as possible (foreign language being a core area) is helpful based on the results of our friends and classmates.

Doesn't legacy not matter at UVA?

How do we know which is correct?


The source of the SCHEV admissions data is the universities themselves. So if the universities are saying, “hey SCHEV isn’t calculating this correctly” then the universities are probably right. Or it’s a giant conspiracy where the universities are all lying to make themselves look better to terminally online people. Take your pick.

Give it a rest already.

What? It would be in line with their institutional vibe. I've never seen so many posts about cheating on a university reddit page.


Huh? Can you provide links?
As a prospective parent, the honor code is one feature that really attracts me after 4 years of high school where cheating doesn't seem to be taken that seriously

My DC into Michigan. Best friend into UVA. Third friend into UNC. 2 friends into UF. Nobody USC. Nobody Texas. Each deferred from the rest. These are friends from several different high schools so it's not that universities are dividing admits from one class of kids. No one really expects RD to bring accepts as everyone will be back into the same pool for very few spots.

Just my thoughts but it seems like there are many deferrals and kids are lucky to have one top40 admit. I bet yield for all is uncharacteristically high.


Wait and see. My guess is there will be some RD admits for this group! But, glad everyone has 1 competitive option.

OOS yield is only 16% at UVA.
Let's assume this is true. So what. The kids who want to attend don't give a shit about OOS yield, and their families apparently are able to make it work financially. Please move on and let interested families discuss their results.

If you really think about it longitudinally, it means UVA is on the long-term decline because 1) it is too reliant on oos kids for budgeting purposes and 2) it is charging a private school tuition that these kids think is not worth it. Something will have to give if UVA will maintain its level of prestige. The writing is on the wall — and some people can read it better than others.


If you could actually read, you would know that the OOS yield from the actual university data is similar to other top public universities.
