[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enrollment is far from "proportional." It is much more difficult to be admitted from NoVa, higher grades/ranks/SATs are required of NoVa applicants, the average NoVa student receives less in non-loan aid than the average student from the red areas, and the differences have become extreme -- students from some western/southern VA counties are admitted with what amount to essentially remedial-level SAT scores, while NoVa students have to be well within the top 10% even to make the first, non-dispositive pass. UVA and W&M have become nothing but the blue subsidizing the red. [/quote] Is there any info on how long this has been going on? I am wondering how this disparity, which my NoVa kid experienced firsthand, bears on graduation rates.[/quote] I graduated from W&M in 1988. (Out of state student). I can assure you that NoVA parents have been moaning about this issue for at least the past 30 years.[/quote]
