The closer we get to disregarding the power of legacy the better. Student athletes need a close look as well. When I went to UVA I had a class with an athlete who only showed up for syllabus day and the final.
The big problem UVA will have, though, is that it wants geographical representation from Virginia.
Northern Virginia, however, accounts for the vast majority of the applicants with the highest test scores in the state.
The idea that applicants are evaluated "on their story" is bogus, and anyone who went to TJ knows it -- they just draw a GPA line and admit everyone above it and reject everyone below it. Figuring out how to solve the problem of rural admissions is pretty similar to figuring out how to solve race-based admissions. Glad I'm not at the helm for that one.
