[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of Marshall but my kids have gone to Churchill.  I've spoken with quite a number of in my neighborhood here who regret not buying their house in Virginia to take advantage of in-state at UVA and WM.  Some seriously considering moving for this reason. UMD is quite good, but not as good as UVA.  More than that, Virginia has a number of good universities if you don't like/don't get into UVA but in MD, UMD is pretty much the only one most of my circle would be excited about.  My kids have seriously considered William & Mary (I'd prefer that over UMD due to school size) but it comes out being twice as expensive out of state.  The other publics in MD are quite a step down from UMD.  (Note that UMD is getting quite difficult to get into from Churchill-- I know some kids with 1500+SATs getting rejected because they don't want to fill their whole class with W school kids so the lack of depth makes a difference.).

Most students at Churchill and most people living in Potomac are not aiming for state schools. 
Cool story,  though. [/quote]

Oh Jeez if this is what Churchill people are like I would prefer Marshall[/quote]

Let's be for real. Most NOVA kids aren't aiming for state schools either. THe typical HS UMC or MC kid is looking to go out of state. NOVA kids aren't aspiring to go to JMU. [/quote]

Marshall is a big feeder to George Mason and JMU.  [/quote]
