[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but this post is ridiculous.

You have to actually do some work and start to narrow the list down yourself. You can’t narrow down the list based on random people on the internet.

Does your kid want to be in a city? The answer will rule out a bunch of these schools. For example, if the answer is no, VCU can be crossed off immediately.

What size do they want? Again, that will eliminate a bunch of schools. A kid who wants a small school won’t like VCU, VT, UVA, ODU, Mason or JMU.

Do they want Greek life? Sports? Religious affiliation? Military affiliation? If they don’t know, then visit a few schools to get a feel.

Also, look at admissions statistics. You’ve got some schools on this list that are really hard to get into, and some that admit almost anyone. Kids who have a shot at UVA aren’t applying to Bluefield, EMU, etc. So look at your child’s stats and the school’s stats to see where they have a reasonable chance of getting in and narrow the list accordingly.

There are so many differences between these schools. Your child must have some opinions that shorten this list.
