[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all about your financial circumstances and your kid’s preferences/priorities.

If you can afford either without struggle, choose based on your kid’s preferences.

If you can’t afford OOS without a struggle, UVA is the obvious answer.

The idea that you’re going to get (and can predict while your child is in high school and [b]very well could change course/majors during college) [/b]some meaningful “ROI” on one school name over another is silly.[/quote]

Eighty percent of all students change their major at least once. My UVA engineylid did and was very glad he had not gone to a tech school[/quote]

yes-this is why we want  a non tech school, kid really wants a [b]change as uva will be HS 2.0[/quote][/b]

That’s a trite, ignorant phrase used by students who don’t get in or don’t have what it takes to even apply. Go tour - at least twice. Have your kid look into the 700 clubs and organizations there. My kids (one public, one private) never saw their high school
Classmates - it us, after all, 6,000 incoming  a year. The students are 30% OOS and 6% international. Talk to other UVA parents and they will tell you the same: your kid won’t see their high school friends unless the seek them out. Would you not apply to UCLA because “it’s high school 2.0”. No, you would not. You are also talking  about a savings of $240k (USC at $100 minus UVA at $40k) which goes a long ways toward grad school or down payment. [/quote]
