a thought…
Not just UVA but most competitive schools… What role does where you come from really play? I’m a little confused because schools say they want “geographical diversity” but at the same time I see all these kids from prestigious high schools in CA and NY get in to just about every good school in the nation. I know of many students at other high schools who are just as qualified but get denied or deferred. So do colleges really want “geographical diversity” or do they want students from those high schools (NY, CA) with whom they have tight relationships?
