[quote=Anonymous]Someone posted a few days ago about the "state" of Virginia colleges and how these rejections impact other Virginia schools.  It's crazy.  Where in Virginia are these high achieving kids expected to attend if they don't get into UVA.  Do they automatically go to VT?  Do they get over themselves and entertain schools like JMU or GMU?  I find a lot of high stats kids have parents who shun schools like this.  They would rather their kids go out of state then stay in Virginia.  And then complain about no merit.  Northern Virginia is turning into a very snobby area.  Sometimes I sit at work and listen to people discuss colleges like it's the most important thing in the world.  Like it matters if they choose the number 4 CS school around over the number 8.  I assure you as a hiring professional of a lot of candidates in Virginia we far enjoyed the kids at JMU over the kids at VT.  JMU kids were much more prepared and they were very strong at the internships we supplied them.  Why is this area so snobby?  If your kids has a 4.7 and doesn't get into UVA then take those smarts to another college in Virginia that may not be as prestigious, but you can really make a difference, probably graduate early or get a masters in four years.[/quote]
