<p>Elitist- I would say that while you are highly qualified, I have been told that U VA is extremely difficult to get in as an OOS student. If UVA is a top choice for you, make sure you put a great effort into the essays!</p>
<p>I agree with one of the posters above, however, who said that UVA is not a great value for OOS students. You would practically be paying private school tuition. At some privates you may also qualify for aid that would bring your total cost less than UVA. I know a friend of mine’s daughter got a full tuition scholarship at Vandy. In the end, I’m sure you’ll be accepted at several excellent schools, but you will then want to factor in the value that you will be getting for your tuition dollar. Keep lots of options open and don’t get too fixated on any one school, especially not UVA.</p>
