[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a MD native who went to UVA and now lives in DC and sends kids to DCPS. Oldest at Deal. No regrets about our decision to live in DC, although I recognize that access to Deal/Wilson makes a difference.

If the only reason you’re interested in VA is because of state university access, go MD. VA state schools are incredibly hard to get into from NoVa these days—harder than out of state. NoVa valedictorians are getting rejected from JMU! Don’t assume that your kid, even if very bright, will get into a VA school they want to attend. [/quote]

NoVa “valedictorians” aren’t getting rejected from JMU if they attend a decent high school in APS or FCPS.  [/quote]

[b]+1  I would like to see evidence that a valedictorian of a high school is getting rejected from JMU.[/quote][/b]

SCHEV statistics for fall entering class 2017 at JMU:  top 25% median: 3.90; median 3.73; bottom 25% 3.52.  Them's damn high scores no matter how you cut it.  http://research.schev.edu/enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]
