[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's so much UVA hate on this board. Super weird. This was just a thread announcing that UVA results are out tomorrow and it immediately turns into pointless bashing.[/quote]

UVa has become out of reach for many hard-working instate students and that makes me sad. Instead, they take money from internationals and out-of-staters. They have done little change that. I’m an alum.[/quote]

UVA is still 2/3s in-state students. That hasn’t changed. And it’s actually still harder for OOS and international students to get in than it is for in-state. It has become harder for in-state students because there are more of them applying every year. The same is true for literally every school across the country. [/quote]

That is not what we are arguing here. We are pointing out that UVA has not kept up with avid ginia’s  population growth. If it wants to claim that it is a public university, then it damn well better start acting like one or go private. Instead, it’s using its status as a top public institution to draw in elite money and elite students.  It is also using a publicly on property to do the same. [/quote]

[b]That's exactly what UVA should be doing.  For the instate kids who can't measure up, there are plenty of other public options (JMU, VCU, etc).[/quote][/b]

Exactly.  That's why the Commonwealth provide only 6% of UVA's budget but is pumping in $42 million a year into GMU and the other 40 public universities in VA.   If parents could just get beyond the "my kid has to go to UVA or W&M" mode of thinking, they would realize there are an amazing amount of college and university choices in VA with instate rates.  I know six families at at Christopher Newport and have been thrilled with the quality of education their children have received. Same with the other colleges and universities[/quote]

I have kids and know lots of other families with kids at JMU, Tech, CNU, Mary Washington, GMU, etc.  All have found their perfect "fit."  VA really does have a school for everyone.  [/quote]
