[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really would prefer my DC (HS class of 2026) stay in VA-both due to proximity and also cost, However they feel that they do not want the social continuation of their HS-with the top 10% academically going to UVA, top 30% to VTECH and most of the rest of the kids to JMU, VCU, GMU or NOVA. We are in a high achieving public HS in NOVA.

Have any of your kids expressed similar views?

My kid was in this position and ready to move to the opposite coast to attend school. Then she went to an admitted students day and fell in love with a Virginia school. There are several kids from her class also attending, but guess what? They're the kids who were in her AP classes and involved in many activities and with whom she has a lot in common. She changed her mind and now considers it a benefit to go to school with some kids she knows and likes (all have agreed to not room with anyone they know from high school...wisely...). Many of the schools you list are large enough that the kids will not run into their high school classmates unless they want to.[/quote]
