WVU

Just in case it helps anyone:

Kid just got good news from West Virginia.

Stats: 25 ACT, 3.0 GPA. Some clubs. Lots of sports. RD.

No military, out of state, typical NOVA fam.

(They have rolling admissions)

A good potential option for this kid.

Congrats! That’s awesome for your kid.

I think WVU checks a lot of boxes! Congratulations to your kid! He/She will have an awesome time!

WVUs Neuroscience Center was just on 60 Minutes. WVU is a good option for those wanting to attend an R1 research university, but that might lack the initial high stats. Their merit aide is also amazing for high stat kids.

We were not impressed with it and got MUCH better aid elsewhere.

I’m guessing: affordable, big sports, not too far away, harassing Jews isn’t an intramural sport, meet people different from kid’s high school, people won’t say “where’s that?”

Better aid financially or by Merit?

Why not name the schools? We're all anonymous here. LOL.

Google: West Virginia University financial issues. Lots of cuts re: faculty, staff, & majors in favor of enhanced athletic facilities & better dorms. Some majors need to be cut due to lack of enrollment.

Articles about the WVU financial issues are easily found online from AP, NY Times, And WSJ.

Lots & lots & lots of drinking & drugs. Lots of idiots who, fortunately, fail out during their first year & a half, but they hold back classes and other students.

Nevertheless, there are career opportunities. KPMG advisory/consulting has named WVU as a target school for recruiting.

The dorms are shit though.

You don't know the greater Morgantown area very well, do you?
