<p>LOL! Supposedly, "Virginia is for Lovers" right? No one mentioned haters.</p>

<p>pwned? he said one word... w/e</p>

<p>Well, I think the resentment comes from the fact that I can see people at my school who were rejected with 1400s, high GPAs, and solid ECs, while UVa's SAT and other stats are dragged down a lot by other regions. It just sucks that we have to suffer...hence the northern va types "don't like southern va kids at uva."</p>

<p>I put this question to my son, home on Thanksgiving break from UVA. He said that normally, people don't even think much about this. (We're from Fairfax County, in Northern VA). </p>

<p>He does notice that kids from Northern VA seem to do better than other kids academically. But, there seems to be no seething resentment.</p>

<p>Out-of-state kids that he knows are mostly from private schools, and seem to do better still than Virginians. </p>

<p>Just our .02.</p>

<p>Hi Redbeard ! How does your son like engineering at UVA ? Alas, we couldn't talk our S2 into applying to UVA. He currently awaits VT's ED decision, & says if he's deferred that he will apply to UVA. (because he's not thrilled with his backup school of Penn State) Haha - isn't that backwards ?! I keep thinking of the joke : What do UVA & VT engineers have in common ?....They were both admitted to Tech :) But you probably already knew that one !</p>
