...Sure? Who are you and why would you waste people's time with a comment like this. I am really disappointed that people here keep trying to push their agendas about everything on others. Me and DH met at UVA and our son desperately wanted to carry that on. It is unfair to treat that pain with scorn, because you have some skepticism for whatever reasons. This place is becoming rancid.
The PP said "sure" because she didn't believe it, and I don't either.
On the bright side, your DS is quite likely to find a satisfactory spouse at some other school.

People with 1500+s have been rejected from UVA for years now. Seems there's a lot of parents new to the college admissions game.

+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?
I recently read how much harder it is for football players to get into UVA than Duke and UNC. The admit standards for athletes are higher at UVA.
I read this too... forgot the name of the article but see if you can find it:

+10000000
If Harvard is 1370 UVA could be literally 1100 or something. There's a rule in the Ivy athletic conference that requires athletes admitted to any Ivy to have "commensurate" academic chops and I know of no such rule in any other athletic conference.

Right? No way PP expected anyone to believe this, especially at a supposedly "rigorous" private.

They admit in both rounds. They only recommend that athletes apply EA instead of ED.
Still think it's a troll. Someone is posting lower stats and claiming to be an athlete in a number of threads.

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.
+1. Athletes or URM or first-generation
Exactly.
