UVA Michigan DC likely applying to these 3. We are not VA residents so the VA schools are out of state. DC ruled out UNC and UVM. We ruled out CU-Boulder. |

| OP here. I should have mentioned we're in Va but we/kids probably don't want to go where they could be accepted in state. |

Interesting, I never knew that Clemson was public. And it's a good deal for out of state students. |

Here's DD's current criteria: biggish (10,000+), football (pref D1), campus feel but close to a city (so GTown yes but no GW), B/B+ student, some Greek life, warmish climate. |
