<p>Mama, unfortunately, what isn’t working is the amount of money that the state of Virginia is sending to its higher educational institutions. </p>
<p>By increasing the numbers of students admitted at UVA, (the article said 1400 over time will be added- 120 for next year) they can keep admitting the OOS kids, who are welcomed for their diversity, smarts and $, while appeasing the VA politicians who are getting an earful from in state families whose kids aren’t getting in despite having stellar credentials. </p>
<p>Personally, as a parent I am happy to see they are doing this; there will be 120 really talented kids who are thrilled to pieces to be accepted to this competitive and fine school. Obviously there are student and alumni concerns that have already been mentioned. Hopefully, the university has studied this enough to see that there won’t be too much of a negative impact on anything dealing with academics or living conditions in general. It will be interesting to see in the next few years how the administration and students feel after this change has taken effect.</p>
