[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]FYI, your child probably has a better chance of admittance to UVA as an out of state applicant than an in state applicant from NOVA.[/b]
Separately, what states have reciprocity with other states for in-state tuition?[/quote]

Aside from the fact that I'd spend whatever it took not to have to live in NOVA, I wouldn't bank on my kids getting into UVA, especially coming from NOVA.  They have a better chance of getting in having graduated from a DC private school or a MD public, even though you're stuck with out-of-state tuition.[/quote]

Best chance of all getting in from DC public, probably, given raw numbers.

And what PP says about how hard it is to get into UVa from NoVa is all true; I went to UVa as an out-of-state student in the 90s, when it was nearly as hard to get in from some parts of NoVa (Arlington/Alexandria/Fairfax) as it was to get in from out of state. Today, I know smart kids who are legacies who can't get in from NoVa, even from elite private schools; same with William and Mary. Lots of these kids are going to JMU. [/quote]
