[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you lived in VA several decades ago (1980's-90's), the hot colleges would most likely have been an in-state public like UVA, William & Mary, or JMU. There just wasn't the same demand back then for out-of-state, high-status schools except among the very elite. This area has seen huge demographic change in the last few decades. Immigration has skyrocketed, post 9/11 defense spending has increased incomes and raised the standard of living, technology and social media raises awareness about out of state schools. It's a different world.[/quote] I remember in 1985 visiting UVA because it was then considered a hot commodity. I don't think it is now though, mostly because of all the horrible scandals.[/quote] [b]Evidence to the contrary would be the soaring number of applicants. But don't let facts stand in your way, hater.[/quote][/b] + 1. DS is there and loves it. We're so happy he got in.[/quote]
