[quote=Anonymous]More kids from our NoVa public seem to go to Penn State than to any other out-of-state public university. Quite a few have a least one parent who went to Penn State and are loyal alumni. Others might have gotten into Virginia Tech if they didn't live in NoVa, but can't get in to Tech because Tech is trying to ensure geographic diversity and requires NoVa kids to have higher GPAs/test scores (not complaining, but it's obvious from the Naviance data for our school). Others get into places like Tech and/or JMU, but want a better-known school than JMU and a school with a more even male/female ratio than Virginia Tech. My kid decided Penn State was too big and isolated for him, but my friends from this area who've done programs there (including an Indian-American women who did her graduate work there) say it's a big community with something for everyone.
