[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do that to the state’s best schools, and they won’t be the best for long. OP, you want the school’s reputation without the school’s admission and course rigor. Those things are incompatible. If your kid can’t get into these schools, they belong at a lower-ranked VA school. As others have said, there is a VA state school for everyone. You just need to accept that the schools you covet are not an academic match for your kid. [/quote]

VA literally is one of THE TOP states for state schools.  Ranging from UVA/WM/VaTech down to Radford and their (forget the name) "we think you might be a candidate, so we will admit you and once you prove yourself with remedial courses we will let you continue for 4 year degree".

There is literally a school for everyone.

And yes, if your kid cannot gain admissions to any of the top 3, then they likely are not good candidates for those schools and would do better at JMU/GMU/and on down the list.

Just like Most T25 schools are smaller 5-8K undergrad populations, and their appeal would change drastically if they expanded to 15K students.
