[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving to try to impact college acceptances is up there on the dumbest ideas I've heard.[/quote]

So is it easier to get into UVA from Langley or Westfield for the same kid with the same potential and same academic choices and performance?

If your kid is UVA material, it won't matter.[/quote]

+1 it would be really sad to uproot your family in hopes of a better chance of getting into UVA. if your kid has the requisite scores and GPA they will get in.[/quote]

Except this is not true. Top 10%. If a 4.5 still puts you in the top 11-20%, no UVA for you.[/quote]

well that is not always true. It was true in my kids school, but we have a friend who was not top 10% in another county school who did get in with a 4.5 and solid scores. HIs school got something like 30+ kids accepted compared to ours which accepted 10 or 11. It was generally understood that this particular class at his school was super strong. Same school one year later is not having anywhere near the same results.[/quote]
