<p>actually it depends. i have the same situation. my dad is, luckily, the parent that claims me as a dependent on his taxes (just how the divorce worked out). im not positive if this is absolutely necessary though so dont feel like all is lost if this is not the case. i know one of the criterion is that the parent residing in VA must contribute 50% of your yearly expenses. all of my mumbo jumbo is poorly worded so visit this link: <a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/status.html[/url]”>http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/status.html</a></p>
<p>just so you know, i was admitted to JMU as an IS student. still waiting on UVA decision but their application for is status was worded with less force so hopefully ill be IS there too. if accepted…</p>
