<p>I’m only giving you all one point of view here. I know lots of kids who apply to UVA, I just don’t know any who choose to attend, for whatever reason. </p>
<p>Off the top of my head, local kids (who I personally know) who applied and were accepted to UVA have attended UMd, UNC, UC-Berkeley, U-Mich, Virginia Tech, GW, Georgetown, WashU, Tufts, Davidson, Wake Forest, University of Vermont, Hopkins, UCLA, several Ivys.</p>
<p>I don’t know how to interpret this. I just know that in my tiny part of the world, UVA is attractive enough for kids to apply, just not attractive enough for them to attend. Maybe two years from now when my third kid is heading off to college there will be three or four of her classmates who choose UVA over some other schools.</p>
