Thanks for clarifying Dean J. It sounds like you are saying that practices have changed since the publication of these articles/interviews—
https://uvamagazine.org/articles/carrying_on_the_legacy/
“While legacy admission has come under more intense scrutiny at colleges and universities around the country in recent years, we plan to maintain our current model, in which out-of-state legacy applicants are treated as if they are Virginians.”
https://uvamagazine.org/articles/college_bound_and_determined
“For out-of-state students, a legacy status puts them in the in-state pool, where their odds are better.”
Both articles are obviously dated being from 2009 and 2006. However, if the policy has changed since then, I gently suggest posting that info on the UVA website, or perhaps in the ALP FAQs…That would reach far more people than posting it here on CC and over time would probably result in a better understanding of UVA’s admissions policy with regard to OOS legacies.
