[quote=Anonymous][quote]What are the schools on the east coast that would be comparable, if VA had these schools? Their stats are well outside of NVCC, JMU, etc., but under UVA.[/quote]

Nice that you put NVCC and JMU in the same bucket there.  The gap between these two is much greater than the gap between JMU and UVA.

To answer your question, there are plenty of public universities on the East Coast that are easier to get into than UVA and W&M - basically anything but UNC.  Look at UMD, Pitt, Vermont, Delaware, Penn State, Florida, Georgia, Rutgers, UMass, NC State, Ohio State if you can head slightly west.  If you are looking for schools that will cost the same as Virginia in-state, you may need to look beyond flagships and private schools, or somewhere other than the east coast.

My DC with "not good enough for UVA stats" (34 ACT, 4.0wgpa) is deciding between JMU (the horror) and UMD with a $12K scholarship.  He never considered applying to the "good" VA schools (not a good choice for his major). [/quote]
