[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about out of state students taking up seats at State U while qualified in state university students are turned away? I think it must be hard on parents who pay taxes to support their state university only to find that their own child is turned away in favor of someone else’s childWho doesn’t pay taxes to support that same university.[/quote]

Pisses me off. We are writing off schools like UVA for this reason.  Not playing the game to have my high achieving kid kill herself only to not get in to the state school I support. I wish they had rules like some other states, giving more spots or [b]preference to in state kids[/b].

Oh well. [/quote]

Almost 70% are from Virginia. That’s a clear preference, and a large majority of spots.[/quote]

In state public schools in Virginia are required to enroll 2/3 in-state students.  That's a clear preferences.  UVA (and W&M) are just still really selective schools because there are a lot of highly qualified in-state students.  Fortunately there is also VT, JMU, GMU, CNU, VCU, UMW, which are in many cases better schools than the primary flagship in a lot of states.[/quote]
