[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big companies still go to all of these schools

After your first job no one cares where you went to school anyway

I went to JMU 10 years ago and I had a lot of fun

Now I make over 6 figures and I would have done just as well as any of the other colleges on this list[/quote]

Again, we know that.  There's nothing wrong with JMU.  I'm just saying that if you're from NOVA and truly are a borderline UVA admit, as was my daughter, it can be a let down to have to go there.  Her high school probably sent two or three dozen kids there, including some good friends, none of whom performed as well as she did academically.  [/quote]

2017-2018 Freshman Enrollment from Fairfax County

GMU - 1,031
VT - 959
UVA - 680
JMU - 600

More likely to run into kids from your same high school at UVA than JMU.[/quote]

[b]I've never understood that line of thinking.  I have three kids, all in VA state universities.  They've all confirmed that it's a myth you'll run into people from high school all the time (or ever).  Two of them at larger schools have never run into their former high school classmates.

I went to Tech and sure I ran into people for HS from time to time (and why is that such a bad thing?)  But it was overwhelmingly unfamiliar faces. [/quote]
