[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, your premise that UVA and William & Mary accept a lower percentage of applicants from NOVA than other regions in Virginia is a myth.  It simply isn't true.

Second, if your daughter applies from a DC public school that is "easier," these schools will know that it's "easier."  T[b]hey will evaluate your daughter's application in the context of her DC high school.

If you are saying that DC will be evaluated as compared to her own classmates and rank, APs, ecs in her D.C. school, then yes.  But, she is not applying OOS; she still would be applying in-state as a VA resident.  And the competition for the NOVA slots is staggering, especially as the slacs contintue to price themselves out of existence.[/quote]

So she's applying as in-state while going to an "easier" school? The VA public school kids with the same grades will rank higher with the admissions office. This is not a private school situation just because you're paying tuition. [/quote]
