[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got accepted to UVA and JMU, decided to go to UVA.  No aid, which, even though is in-state for us, tuition will be a challenge as a public schools employee.  But she earned acceptance, wants to go, and we'll make it work for her.   No stickers on my car---not my thing for any reason--but don't begrudge those who do.[/quote]

This is so similar to our situation; DC was accepted to the same schools but chose JMU.  We are also public school employees!  Haven't decided about the car sticker, but have no problem either way.   :-)[/quote]

Just curious about why your DC chose JMU. [b]And why PP's chose UVA[/b].

Congrats and good luck to both families![/quote]

Probably money.  That is actually a major consideration for the 90% of families who don't have a hundred grand laying around.[/quote]

I'm the PP whose DC was accepted to UVA and JMU and chose JMU.  The cost wasn't a factor; both are in-state tuition.  DC was just "feeling" JMU and loved it.  [/quote]

I'm the PP who did the opposite.  My DD spent a week at UVA the summer after junior year and it was the best advertising they could do for themselves.  She enjoyed it and came home wanting to go there.  Still looked at and visited other schools, but UVA stuck with her.[/quote]
