Well I apreciate all the advice, I know its a real wild card considering all of the different stories I’ve heard. It’s a really wonderful school though, but like I said I’m by no means counting on getting in (plus I have another strong public school right in my backyard, University of Delaware) There’s just something about UVa, though I could just feel it on the tour, I don’t know if its the campus, the tradition, or what it is, it really has a liberal private school kind of feel to it.
About the recruitment for track: I’m a decent decent distance runner (10:05 3200m), but that’s by no means recruitable to the top ACC distance program this year.
I’d love to hear back from kids who have either applied to UVa, been accepted, or have worked with admissions there. What really makes a student stand out, what did you do differently? How about those essay? Man they were tough (what is your favorite word and why? lol) Which one did you all answer, how did you approach it?

I really apreciate the feedback, it has definetly been helpful

Thanks,
Meyer
