You use extreme language. Sounds like you have sharp elbows: people who have sharp elbows don’t think of themselves as such.

Princeton only has REA, not ED.
Did she at least apply EA to UVA? It’s a public and they’re EA isn’t binding so she could have applied in the early round UVA EA- but not UVA ED. Waiting to RD there would be dumb.

Deferred then waitlisted Princeton REA, but accepted RD at Yale, Duke, UPenn, Brown, Georgetown, and some others. Enrolled at Duke.

Was she in-state or out-of-state for UVA? And was she at a public or private high school? The second question may not be relevant but I’m just curious. Thanks.

They aren't denied. They are rejected for who knows what reason but space is limited.
