[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that OP's title say "Virginia PARENTS don't have good options..." Freudian slip, OP? Sounds like YOU have an issue with your student's prospects. It's really your student's choice, not? I wonder if your student is as disappointed with his/her option as you are. I suspect this is a parent who is frustrated by the reality of where their kid can and can't get in. And just an aside, OP... I DO get it. I wish there was a traditional college big-state U that pretty much admitted everyone with a 3.0 and above. That's the missing piece in VA. We have VT and UVA -- but they have become so selective that even a 4.0 student cannot expect to be admitted to VT. And forget about UVA. I even went to UVA and it offends me a little that they want my alumni dollars, but no way they will admit my 4.0+ kid. So, I think I know what you are unhappy about. But, sometimes parents are more unhappy about status than kids are. My kid is totally FINE with GMU... and that's where he plans to go. We've encouraged him to think about VT and out of state. But, he's says no. So, it's not for me to dis GMU. Let your kid find his/her way. There are options in VA, even if they aren't what we parents might have had in college.[/quote]
