stupid post. That's only for patents and means nothing. S Carolina was UofSC until just lasy year when it opted to try out USC. https://www.dailygamecock.com/article/2023/04/university-of-south-carolina-revives-usc-acronym-changes-branding-after-4-years-news-larsen |
| i imagine most Va kids who are going to a T20 school turned down UVA or Va Tech to go there. Are there any kids who don't apply and have a decent shot at their state publics when they are good candidates for high reaches? |
This is true for the wealthy and poor. For families with HHI between $200K and $400K, and especially those without large 529s, no financial aid from higher ranked schools makes UVA a great deal. Lots of families make that trade off. |
Sure. But even from the middle class, anyone going to a highly selective school, probably turned down in-state tuition at UVA/VT. I agree more middle class families will choose to forgo the highly selective school than the wealthy, the poor, or those who have saved aggresively. |
Not in my house. |
USC (South Carolina) existed before CA was a state. |
I know quite a few in-state kids who didn't get into UVA but got into a T20 school in the past 3-4 years. |
May I ask why? |
UMD honors due to direct admit CS. Would love VT but they don't have direct admit. Did not apply to UVA. Didn't feel the CS department was strong enough. |
irrelevent. USC is University of S Cal and U So Carolina was UofSC until lastyear. Now there are two USCs. You could have googled that |
Same. |
|
In state VA. Got in W&M and VaTech (Engineering). Rejected UVA Engineering. Also got direct admit to CS at UMD with merit. Of that bunch, was choosing UMD - the direct admit and the quality of the program.
Ultimately Going to large OOS T10 public with Engineering/CS program. |
| Turned down VaTech engineering and is attending Purdue engineering. |
| UIUC biology/premed |
| Northwestern engineering/cs |
