[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line:  UVA and W&M affirmatively do not want NOVA applicants or students.  They want NOVA tax revenue, but those of us that live here are poison and are to be avoided.  A GPA barely above a B+ from a school in seven central Virginia counties, together with standardized test scores in roughly the 75+ percentile, is enough for UVA, from that locality.  The NOVA requirements are dramatically higher.  UVA and W&M demand, receive, hold, and expend public funds.  But they do NOT equally accommodate VA resident applicants by any measure.

Completely and verifiably UNTRUE.  UVA's class of 2020 has 1130 students from Northern Virginia out of a class of 3720 (source: http://admission.virginia.edu/uva-admission-quotas-northern-virginia).  UVA accepted 224 kids from my D's Northern VA HS last year (TJ).

Read this blog from UVA admissions for more info on how UVA selects its student body:  http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/[/quote].

But compare qualifications.  That figure should have been 75%, if merits admissions practices were adopted.

So does this mean you've acknowledged that this is substantially at taxpayer expense?  [/quote]

The State of Virginia provides approximately 9.3% of UVA's annual budget funding (source: http://www.virginia.edu/budget/Docs/FY2016-17%20TOTAL%20ACADEMIC%20BUDGET%20for%20Website.pdf)[/quote]

Sigh.

You're looking only at the Op budget, not Cap.

It's the University of Virginia not the University of Northern Virginia.  [/quote]
