[quote=Anonymous][quote]The options of UVA and William and Mary are superior to any state’s college options other than CA. I can’t think of any other states with two excellent state school options. I view it as an easy choice to live in MD over VA. My wife and I can’t understand why anyone here would choose MD.[/quote]

Yes, it's a known fact that UVA and W&M accept 100% of applicants from VA.  10% of the Class of 2017 at my DC's school enrolled at these two schools. About half of the class of 500 went OOS.

We moved from MD to VA when older DC was starting K - mainly for a shorter commute, but I remember thinking at the time that the kids would have great choices for college.  Fast forward 12 years and older DC applied to zero in-state schools and moved out west. Younger DC has mostly As and high test scores but still isn't very competitive for UVA or W&M.  Based on his interests, he wouldn't want to go to either school anyway.  He just visited UMD-CP and is looking at other OOS publics (focusing on ones that offer merit), along with VA Tech and a couple of private schools.. [/quote]
