[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the point--Richmond doesn't typically cross recruit with VA state schools--as much as some folks are apparently unaware.  Richmond had 17% Virginia residents in the past incoming class.  W&M and UVA had 65% with all other VA state schools above that.  U of R had 43% of incoming students from Maryland through New England, and a total of 34% of what they call the South, including VA.  Out of a freshman class of 805 that means they have a total of 122 freshman from the entire state of VA.  A single intro lecture class at a VA state school will have more than 122 in-state kids in it.  There are more northerners than southerners at U of R.  Just a fact.

Funny that another fact is that average cumulative borrowing at U of R is $22,000, but at VA Tech is $26,000.  So the statement that they leave with a lot more debt is another fiction.

Richmond is a completely different animal that VA state schools that serves a very different market.  [/quote]

What market would that be? People who cannot get into a better school?[/quote]

Pretty much - at least that is how it was 20 years ago (as I posted earlier).  There were a few people from my HS in NJ who went there - all beautiful, fun, sporty people from well-off families.  Didn't seem like they were looking for super academic schools.

It's just a different beast.  No need to compare.  If it seems like a good fit, apply.  If not, skip it.
