Colleges your child crossed off the list after visiting, schools that moved up on the list. Why?

OK, finally UVA . . .

UVA: SAME (so not so good). S24 was always leaning against larger state universities, but we thought it was worth giving a really good one a visit. UVA does have a nice campus, albeit maybe not his favorite style. Everything was fine with visit, tour guide did a nice job, but things like a lot more larger lecture classes, most upperclassmen living off campus, Greek life being pretty big again, and so on were all not a good fit. Obviously UVA is extremely competitive for out of state applicants, so not much point in applying.

And that’s probably it for such universities, except for our in-state likely option.
