OP's entitlement and privilege is showing

OP is profoundly disappointed and is lashing out, so show some grace instead piling on like a stinking pile of dog sh--. LOTS of states show big time in-state preference to the premier state schools. UVA does not. And it has to sting (and my DC is not applying there). VA states, like UVA, Tech, W&M, should absolutely place a priority on residency, imo. THey'd do it w/o sacrificing their brand, as well. It sucks they don't but places like NC do.

This is not true. UVA was 100% more generous in admissions to VA residents over DC/MD residents for applicants from our highly competitive DC private.

You don't understand what PP is trying to say. . UVA accepts around 32% OOS and international. That's a higher amount than some of the other top public systems, like the UC system (trying to limits OOS and International to only 10% of class because parents and voters out there got angry they couldn't get into UCLA and Berkeley), Texas, capped at top 10% of high school class; UNC going to limiting OOS to 10%, etc.

You are an absolute moron. UVA does not accept 32% of out of state applicants. It limits out of state ENROLLMENT to 32%, and to do that it only accepts about 12% out of state applicants because they get a whole lot of out of state applicants. Why are people so stupid?

But he's smart and will succeed

It just sucks. I can't help but be irate that some kid from Jersey can go there but my daughter can't

The measly $1000 I donated every year will cease.

The kid from Hersey has better stats.

Even a 4.0 unweighted 1600 SAT kid from NJ still has the stench of NJ on him.

UVA isn't even a good school. You should've donated your money somewhere else

Troll lol

OP, please understand that the kids who got accepted and decided against going to UVA are not slots that could otherwise be taken up by your kid. The schools over-accept knowing that not everyone will choose that school. Your kid's stats did not meet the statistical threshold (probably by a lot according to UVA standards).

I believe that your kid will go on to a school that is a good fit, and can still be happy and successful. Take a moment to be pissed, then pick back up and forge into positive territory with another school.

Wishing you well!

OP, I know it hurts but your kid isn't entitled to admission anywhere. Legacy preference has been going away...haven't you been reading the news? I think that's a good thing to get rid of, personally. No one should be getting into any college merely because a parent went there.

Yeah, if they were really in tune with UVA, they'd already know this. The in-state and out of state acceptance rates are easy to find. I think OP is just a kid trying to stir the pot here.

OP, have your DD work hard her next year or two and transfer. I know a couple kids who had mediocre hs stats, spent a couple years killing it at other VA schools and then transferred and will graduate with "The UVA diploma."

To the OP - You know that admissions accounts for this, right? They didn't shoot 4 dudd shots to the wind. When they accepted 6, they didn't think all 6 would come (and don't have room for all 6 to come!) - they likely expected only 2 would come. They chose the 6 kids they'd like to offer that option....other applicants didn't make the cut. If they had widened the range of applicants, they'd end up with over enrollment.

I'm very sorry about your disappointment but my DC with much higher stats was deferred last year and never got off the WL. Personally, I am not surprised by your DC's result.

Try transferring in next year?

I was coming here to say this. Your expectations were out of line given her stats. Being a legacy is not an entitlement. Her #s are too low.

I know kids with much higher stats who were waitlisted this year, including legacies!

We have friends who attended there as did my spouse. They donated a lot more each year than you thinking it would help, it didn't and it shouldn't and that $1,000 a year you donated could have grown a lot if invested. Now UCA is just spending it on the kids that got accepted.

Really not surprising. On any level. The least of the unsurprising elements here is that you thought your annual $1K donation and her legacy status sealed the deal.

Hope your girl has a more realistic picture of the world than you do. Best of luck to her.

Or maybe you are just a teenage troll.
