[quote=Anonymous]OP - good question. Virginia bred here but NY now. My DD is 3rd generation legacy student there now. UVA was pushed hard at my NOVA HS (but I skipped out and went north). I think the prestige comes from the in-state applicant stats - it's a pretty sweet deal and then there's the competitive NOVA Fed workers with their competitive kids. There's also the Jefferson history and the faux-Palladian architecture he mimicked. And the school has a very loyal alumni base. It's a play hard / party hard school. Graduates have fond memories of their time there. As an easterner, I admit to being myopic about the schools on the west coast just as you were unawares of the schools on the east coast. I chalk it up to lack of interest in what's going on in the other coast.[/quote]
