[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the impression that UVA, W&M, and VT are state flagships and national universities, with dramatically different profiles in and out of state. JMU seems like a regional school of second choice, like American. VCU and GMU seem like instate second-tier schools with no regional or national profiles.[/quote] Well, Virginia does not actually designate a flagship, but UVA would be the de facto one. VT would often be referred to as the land grant university. W&M is a national university in USNWR, but it is often considered as an alternative to SLACs at the undergraduate level. I don't necessarily agree with your distinctions between JMU, VCU, and GMU. I believe they are all included in USNWR National Universities now. USNWR is really using Carnegie Classifications to distinguish between National Universities (R1/R2) and regional or LAC designations. [/quote]
