[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had middle schoolers in Fairfax County, I'd be trying to find out everything I could about the Virginia State colleges. For VA residents they are a huge bargain and they are excellent starting with UVA, VT and Wm & Mary.

I have to believe that the Fairfax County school systems admissions staff are very good at getting their kids into these schools and have longstanding relationships with them.[/quote]

[b]Getting into UVA is near impossible if you are coming from Fairfax County Public Schools. They want to make sure they have geographical diversity and have kids from all over the Commonwealth enroll, so bright students from FCPS constantly get shut out. I know so many kids who got into Top 25 schools from FCPS and were flat out rejected by UVA.[/b][/quote]

Tell that to the [b]1,071[/b] Fairfax County high school seniors admitted to UVA from the class of 2025.[/quote]

I don’t think PP really means it’s near impossible, more that it’s a crap-shoot. How many other fcps seniors have similar credentials to the 1,000 or so admitted to UVA?  A lot. [/quote]
