[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is prestigious for the DMV area because it’s close by and they want something to champion. It was not always this way. 20 years ago UVA was not hard to get into. 20 years ago NoVA public schools were not what they are today, either.

UVA is a great option for VA residents (I am) but it is not Ivy League. It’s almost comparable but not quite. In fact, all VA public universities used to be kinda basic (WM, VT, JMU, UVA, GMU), but with the increase in an educated population, local schools have had to improve and thus public universities have had to up their game.

UVA and all publics owe most of their cred to high achieving NoVA parents and their students. [/quote]

This is such total BS.  We had a high achieving kid in one of the top NOVA high schools 20 years ago and the matriculation list for our kid’s graduating class school is indistinguishable from the class of 2019.   The average SAT scores for the school (adjusted obviously) are barely any different and then - like now - only the top ten percent of the class had a prayer at UVA.
