[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering if a student from NOVA has a better chance of getting in to VA's top state schools coming from a private school vs. FCPS. Or, if someone with a 4.2 from say Springfield has a better chance than someone with the same GPA coming out of Langley, McLean, Oakton, etc. Do you think it matters which school you graduated from, all else being equal? If colleges take a certain percentage of incoming freshmen from NOVA, I wonder if they also only take a certain percentage from each school?[/quote] It is quite different for top-performing seniors from any NOVA HS to get into top in-state universities due to geographical quotas and a desire (for financial reasons) to accept more out-of-state students (who pay out-of-state tuition). Simply put, two kids who are identical on paper. One goes to McLean, the other to Union High School in Big Stone Gap. The latter is far more likely to be accepted to UVA or William & Mary.[/quote]
