<p>@Charliesch Thanks for the input!</p>
<p>My list is of colleges is already long - so that shouldn’t be a worry, and my parents REALLY don’t want me to apply to even one more school. The price of UVA really isn’t what I considered to be a differentiating factor from NW - but a reason why I’m questioning my decision to apply to either. For example, according to the net price calculator, UVA and NW are 2x the price of Vanderbilt, as well as the “match” school I am replacing either NW or UVA with. While it is true that I don’t know how much more UVA could offer, I am being forced to estimate the probability of UVA offering an affordable net price for my family.</p>
<p>Another interesting note: My school does very well with admissions at NW (35% acceptance rate) and UVA’s is around the same. So while both are difficult to get into, both are among some of the “easier” colleges I am applying to.</p>
<p>I guess what I am most concerned about is the hit UVA’s reputation is taking right now and how long that will last.</p>
