<p>good luck at p’ton and uva</p>
<p>for everyone else - here’s a very interesting article that looks at admissions at UVa. It was originally run in the washington post, but i could only find the copy of it on another webpage. It was written in 2002, so I’m sure its pretty much still accurate. I found it extremely interesting that they almost rejected an OOS girl who was in the top 1% of her class, was student council president, and had great recomendations - all because she didn’t take AP Calc her senior year. What was her saving grace? she was one of only a couple people to ever apply to UVa from her town.</p>
