[quote=Anonymous][quote]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. [/quote] What would be an acceptable NOVA acceptance rate for you? UVA and W&M already accept over 100 kids per year at my DS' FCPS high school, out of a total of about 240 applications. These NOVA kids are being admitted at a rate that exceeds the overall acceptance rates for these schools. I'm not sure why you feel personally victimized by the presence of a small percentage of central Virginians in the student body. [/quote]
