@altims thanks for sharing! UVA is a great choice and on my Ds list too. It’s very hard to get in OOS and impressed she did it without scores. My D has a lot of similarities to yours so here is to hoping she is just as successful as you kid!

Good luck to your daughter. My daughter didn’t get into her first choice, but she fell in love with her choice.

@TinamarieNicolo did your son decide to apply ED? I know the deadline for ED1 is 11/15, but Wake offers rolling ED, so it’s possible to have applied and already have a decision.
