[quote=Anonymous]Below the level of UVA & W&M, northern virginia students often find themselves at the top of the class at the other Va publics. Frankly they feel ~ why did I work so hard in high school to go here? When they attend another state's flagship, this is not the case. You have the best students of that state attending. Go look at VT & JMU. Get to know them, and try to imagine if your DC would be happy there. If either of those schools are a good fit, then I think it's reasonable to insist on instate only, if that is what you would like. Very few students who are in range for UVA & W&M will be happy at Mary Washington, Christopher Newport, VCU, George Mason, etc. There is a regional/cultural issue of "fit" which will be important, not to all but to some: anything south of northern virginia is going to feel more southern. Depending on personal preference that can be a plus or a minus.[/quote]
