<p>I hardly think it is me buying my way out of anything.</p>
<p>If I (my family included) am going to have to pay $124,000 over four years plus cost of living at UVA it is of my opinion that UVA should factor that into my application. </p>
<p>I know that isn’t politically correct and I am sorry if that struck a nerve as being elitist, but the world we are living in isn’t a “need blind” fair place. If it was fair you wouldn’t see grossly under-qualified URM students and recruited athletes being admitted over more qualified candidates, regardless of socio-economic status.</p>
