How are you handling this?
In what way? Rivalries?
VT and UVA are football rivals, maybe, but beyond that these schools aren't really rivals.
My question is how are you handling the disappointment that none of the kids got into UVA? I don't mean this in a bad or trolling way. It's an honest question. There's no way that you two Wahoos didn't want your kids at UVA.
DP. As a Hokie, I cringed a bit at UVA admitted student day and razzed my kid. But- it’s a wonderful school. I think it’s much different than it was in the early 90s. I really like it now. I was a STEM major so chose VT.
My sons are both International Relations/policy/govt. Firstborn ultimately ended up at an Ivy, but UVA is my younger ones top 2 picks (possibly first choice). I’d be thrilled if he went there…and as full pay so would my pocketbook.
I mean, thanks? But you didn't go to UVA and my question wasn't directed at you.

I'm 50. Most of the couples we know and relatives around our age met their spouses in college or grad school. Pre- internet dating.
Yep only 43 here, but still met in (different) colleges - UVA & Mary Washington
TBD where the kids go
but not in VA anymore.
