<p>Nice comments, which I echo. </p>
<p>UVa also is also need-blind in admissions (unless your dad has built a large new building for the university recently). Many selective colleges are not need blind - they target students from affluent neighborhoods and private schools, and they may reject a student if they feel they will need too much aid to attend. </p>
<p>UVa also doesn’t play games with tracking the level of interest by students, to try to increase their yield rate.</p>
