UVA
W&L
W&M
Tech
JMU

Everyone else [/quote]

Pretty sure we're discussing VA state schools - so publics.  W&L doesn't belong on this list.[/quote]

OP: "Virginia had such great colleges."

Don't see "commonwealth / state.... public only" exclusively in there.

W&L is a VA college, and ranking wise in VA, the list is pretty much in line with people who know colleges in the commonwealth.

But this is DCUM....

Ok... but if you'd read the thread, you'll notice all the schools being discussed are publics.  [/quote]

Doesn't mean that privates cannot be discussed. And OP didn't limit the discussion to publics.

Virginia colleges.

Reading comprehension is important.[/quote]So too is knowing what one is talking about. And if privates [u]are[/u] discussed, and Richmond is not included, well... :thumbdown: [/quote]

This thread is so obviously about publics.  When people say "Virginia schools/colleges," the implication is VA State schools.  Duh.[/quote]

Uh, no.

Virginia schools have both good private and public options.

But...most DCUM posters think UVA is like the only school in the state.

Trust me: nobody is talking about Radford.[/quote]

Such a bizarre post.  Did you even read the OP?  There are so many publics in VA - and yes - people "are talking" about all of them.  What most people are NOT talking about are the privates, because they're off the table for most.  [/quote]

If you can't get into UVA, guess that means you can't get into W&L ( and maybe Richmond) either. Probably the reason those two VA privates aren't mentioned much. You speak like the DCUM posters are poor. No - most are white and UMC.

And everyone on DCUM talks about UVA.

The others? Meh [/quote]

:lol:  Sure, Jan.  There are a few UVA boosters who post over and over.  VT seems to be the most popular school at my kids' high school.  Everyone wants to go there.[/quote]

VT has like a 55% acceptance rate and 40,000+ applications.

A pretty average college.

But continue...[/quote]

Really not sure what point you think you're making, but do continue looking foolish.[/quote]

You got rejected from VT.

Got it.[/quote]
