<p>Motherdear - true, but as long as their public, they shouldn’t give more preference to IS-legacies over IS- non legacy because that means that if you’re IS, legacy, and decent scores, you’re a shoo-in, and thats crazy…its a state school and should remain fair to IS kids…
i do agree on the IS deserving priority…after all, it IS a state school, regardless of how high its ranked, and IS kids should have the same priority as other state schools…i mean, UVA setting it 2/3IS and 1/3OOS is a good enough advantage to OOS because then its guarenteed that OOS WILL get in and a certain number of them WILL be accepted…heck, virginia schools could have a stellar year and graduate a full freshman class of great students, but only 2/3 could go to UVA, whereas most other state schools will take however many they want (except VT…they seem to try to keep a 70/30% of IS/OOS kids, especially in their eng. college, which is more 65/35%)</p>
