WHAT! Are you kidding me?

Please tell me more about your child. If you don't mind I would like to know your child's stats, AP course quantity, major, ethnicity, gender, etc.

By the way, I am a minority parent with an URM child. My child is a rising junior, but UMD and Stanford are on his list of schools.

Exactly. Some parents really do seem to believe their kid should have been admitted to every school they applied to. No. It doesn’t work that way. There are thousands of equally qualified applicants and some of them ALSO have interests/talents that the school wants. Really sick of the whining by some of these parents.

UNC hates non-legacy Virginia students unless they’re coming from privates, TJHSST, Maggie Walker, Oakton, Langley, McLean or Mad.
They figure (often correctly) that top Virginia students will attend UVA.

Who said this was a VA resident?

Underrepresented minority.

As the parent of a rising senior I appreciate these examples. Other readers are free to choose to not click.

Oh honey - you know none of these posts are true right? Come on!

DP here. They absolutely are true - we have four kids going through this right now. Unless you have any actual useful first hand experience, butt out, and stop providing bad information.

People have been saying this since at least covid times - none of you parents are even listening.
