[quote=Anonymous]When you want the highest ranked school possible (with little weight to size or other culture aspects of fit), your budget is state-school price, and you are an "average excellent" student (not a super star who might be competitive for top scholarships a highly selective schools), the approach should be... 1. ED to UVA 2. ED2 to W&M (since UVA doesn't have ED2) And, EA to either... (if really prefer UVA to W&M) OOS flagships that give merit, e.g. U of South Carolina, U Mass Amherst, Alabama, Delaware, Arizona, etc. OR (if really prefer W&M) EA/RD to LACs that give merit. As mentioned up-thread Grinnell is probably the highest ranked LAC that consistently gives merit. Other than that look to the USNews 50 and lower. Plus, as budget safeties, apply to a few other VA publics (but understand JMU and VT have been unpredictable lately so don't say VT is your safety).[/quote]
