[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, it's getting pretty ridiculous in Virginia. UVA and W&M are very difficult to get into. VT and JMU are trending upwards of being very difficult for a lot of kids to get into as well (thanks Covid, Common App, and OOS applicants). Where do kids who have a 3.5-3.8 GPA go? GMU, CNU, VCU, UMW, Longwood? You don't hear about a lot of kids going to Radford or ODU. Virginia had such great colleges, but it's becoming very difficult for a B-B+ kid to get into one of them.[/quote] With the escalating cost of higher education, in-state schools are getting more competitive since they are usually cheaper than private or out-of-state schools. As many students get shut out of the tippy-top schools, they look at other in-state options. The profile of schools like GMU, UMW, and VCU improve as a result since they are getting students that previously would have gone to higher-rated schools. A rising tide lifts all boats.[/quote]
