[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]65% students from VA at UVA. Sure it is cheaper for in state, it’s high school all over again.[/quote]

Yes, 65 percent of entering first years are residents of the 12th most populated state in the US.  8.7 million, to be exactly.  Other than TJ, no more than 1/2 of one percent of the entering class graduated from the same high school.  That the number is higher for TJ says more about the quality of UVA than anything else, since it's generally regardless as the nation's best public high school (no, my kids didn't attend TJ).

If you want to spend three times as much money to send your kid to a private college whose academic reputation and offerings are no better (and, let's be honest, generally not as good) just to avoid the possibility of a passing glance of a high school classmate on campus, then have at it.  Some of us are reasonable.

Academic reputation is no better? Name one ranking in which UVA is higher than G’TOWN.[/quote]
