Apollo Yong, one of many college-bound students nationwide who were left in wait-list limbo this spring, is headed to the University of Virginia. The 17-year-old from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va., was featured last month in a Washington Post report on how numerous students are forced to cope with the stress of competing in overtime for college admission. Yong had been admitted to U-Va. in January but placed on wait lists in March by the University of Chicago and Dartmouth College.
