[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that UVA and William and Mary accept a lower percentage of Northern Virginia students because there are so many who apply. Will it be easier for my DD to apply from a DC school (although we are Virginia residents)?  Background: My DD was accepted to a DC public school and we currently pay non-resident tuition for her to attend. She is getting straight As (the academics are easier, for sure) in all honors and AP classes and is in the top 1% of her class. I am thinking that she may be more competitive applying from the DC school with likely higher grades than she would get in a NOVA school and from a school that will have very few kids applying to UVA and William and Mary.  She is considering coming back to a NOVA school, but on the fence (she loves her DC school, but worried about her competitiveness in applying to college).

Is it better to be a big fish in a little pond in a DC school? Or would she still be considered a little fish in the bigger NOVA pond because of our address?

Yes she will be viewed as a VA resident based on your address. Going to an easy DC public school.[/quote]
