[quote=Anonymous]Look, who are we trying to kid? The answer to the question “why are OOS flagships becoming more popular in the DMV” could not be more obvious. It’s because UVA and Maryland are becoming more and more competitive and many students who would have gone to either of those schools in a heartbeat a decade or two ago are not getting in today. These same students no longer have to “settle” for other in state schools either, because the gap between UVA/W&M/UMD (and even Tech) and the other in state schools is now so large that excellent students aren’t getting into the top in state schools but are still highly qualified and often get merit aid to go to a good OOS school. This isn’t rocket science. And the posters whi insist that they are deliberately doing this to avoid so-called 13th grade are lying to themselves.[/quote]
