[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.

THIS.  It's completely sickening.[/quote]

Sorry, I don't agree. There are plenty of NoVA kids at W&M and UVA (dozens headed to UVA from my DS's high school). Relative to other parts of the state, NoVA kids are already at an advantage--generally better schools, higher incomes, higher educational levels among adults, more opportunities. I'm in favor of spreading the wealth around, so to speak, and I am glad that opportunities are given to kids in other parts of the state.[/quote]
