UVA admits recruited athletes in the EA round, not ED. You all are arguing with a troll.

Troll! Trying to make UVA look bad.

Not necessarily. The academic bar is much lower for athletes, regardless of school. They have a sports job to do.

--HS teacher who sees what students can do and where they end up.

If at Harvard athletes get 1370s, it can certainly happen at UVA.

I went to Harvard. I went to the Harvard Yale game. Once. Waste of time.

3.9, 1600, national level ECs at a rigorous private school… rejected. We are furious!

This is completely in line with what I observed last cycle for athletes and one girl who did dance. UVA is a public school and they can hide any scores under their 25th percentile.

This is the most important part- it’s a public university that is massive. It can hide a lot of low score admits compared to other colleges.

Nah

I have no reason to lie. My son is Asian American and made 5 B's. He had a few A-, but most of grades were A. We are surprised.

Nevermind.

+1 playing football is good for the country

Great. But why is it important that they take spots at college over other kids? Why not just play pro then or play for fun and get into a college based on academic merit?

+1. The three football students my son lived with second year at UVA at were rude, selfish and didn't give a f@ck about anyone but themselves. And they were poor students. Same at my SLAC. I don't understand theUSA Higher Ed obsession with it, especially with schools with mediocre teams. Notre Dame yes. Lower level SLACs, no

It's only a couple hours drive to Charlottesville from NoVA. Why not drive down tomorrow morning, and spend the day taking some fun photos (in the newly purchased gear) and a celebratory lunch?

Good luck to all. My kid got rejected from UVA for high school, went to an Ivy, and has now been admitted to UVA Law. Sometimes things workout over the long term.

Proof?

Only Jeff has the proof. I suspect those similar posts in UVA and Harvard are from the same persons.
