[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools got to expensive.

Kids that would have gone to Georgetown or Williams or an Ivy don’t want to spend $85-99k/year so more and more are going in-state instead.  Very few NoVA residents will qualify for financial aid anywhere since HHI are some of the highest in the nation and COL isn’t a factor in aid.

UVA is now #24 and WM provides the size and education of those $85k Slacs.

Got it?[/quote]

It’s this more than anything else ^^[/quote]

And this is across the board at any state school.  The price tag matters so now all the in state kids are competing with kids from private schools - which generally offer a much better education (there is a reason multiple expensive privates exist and prosper in DC).    Better writers, more money and prep for everything from SATs to the extracurriculars.  The middle of the pack at public universities will disappear - it will be be the poor kids and URMs and the top tier private kids with killer applications.  The rest will be admitted based on oure luck. [/quote]
