I too have heard of UVA rejecting applicants who later were accepted to some Ivy schools. I heard that UVA does that because they feel the applicants are using UVA as a safety and presume they are also applying to some Ivy schools, Stanford, JHU, etc.

For W & M: My h.s. is second (behind T.J.) for sending the highest number of kids there in the U.S. And for UVA, I can’t recall any kids being rejected from my h.s. I am not saying that I’m “in” at either school, I just feel I have a better than average chance.
