[quote=Anonymous]Well, I look at it this way... just like how a 4.0 at TJ isn't the same as a 4.0 at Random High School, a degree from Virginia State University isn't the same as one from UVA/VT/W&M. I see this first hand right now. My niece is at Shenandoah University and graduating with a degree in Psychology this spring. The work she's had to do to get that degree is about 1/4 the amount of work I had to do to get my Psychology degree from UCLA. She had the grades/scores to go somewhere better and got accepted to many, but she got the biggest aid package from Shenandoah. My brother & SIL are paycheck-to-paycheck people, so she had no college savings. I admire that she realized at such a young age that she didn't want to saddle herself with debt to go to a better school, but I worry now about her grad school prospects. [/quote]
