[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We go to a Virginia public HS that is not Langley/Oakton/McLean/etc.

Top kids are looking at maybe Duke/Cornell/Darmouth but maybe 1-2 kids a year go to a T15 school. Maybe 20 or so kids a class go to UVA, another 40 go to Tech, same for JMU, a sprinkling go to W&M if they want a small school. Then you have the party kids going to big southern state schools. Then you have the kids that didn't get into JMU who are at Longwood, CNU, etc.

Is this what others are seeing?[/quote]

This is like our public NOVA school (Loudoun County).

I'd say the UVA group might lower- like 15 (the kids who got rejected or waitlisted were so smart too), only a handful for William and Mary (5 or so), and then 40 for JMU and Tech, with another 20 or so for VCU. A huge group - and this has grown recently- has opted to go to George Mason. My daughter had a few friends who got a full tuition scholarship there. Like your school, there was one Ivy and two USC and a scattering of SEC schools.[/quote]
