[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a junior and starting to look at schools. Stats wise probably competitive for VT, JMU, W&M, not UVA. If your FCPS kid went to a public/private out of state, what was the thinking behind it? DD wants to live “somewhere other than VA” which we get but VA has so many great schools that it is tough to think about paying twice as much to go elsewhere (we are full pay but have other kids as well).[/quote]

OP times are very different now. Sending a DD OOS to a red state will be a disaster. Remember your kid gets in trouble at a red state they are an adult, you will not be able to rescue them.

One of mine went to VT from MD at the time MD was so expensive that it cost us a $1000 difference per year for four years. That was doable for us. Mine was studying engineering and CS.

Personally, I am a fan of instate flagship and then better school for Grad school.

Honestly, though the goal of college is to get out and get a job. So the best fit for that is the best school for any kid and most states baring like NJ have more than one choice.
