| I'm just coming back to lurk, since my D has decided on a school other than UVA. But the thing that I find so compelling about the UVA board (other than the fact that I happen to like the university) is that you have an Admissions Dean as an active participant on the board, giving you accurate info whether the news is encouraging or not. As far as I know, Dean J is the only regular contributor to a CC forum from an Admissions office. It seems to me a very human and humane way to interact with prospective applicants and students, and I think it must enhance the image of the UVA administration in the eyes of the current and future students who post here. |
