[quote=Anonymous]My DD graduated FCPS in the spring, so she and her friends are college freshmen now. She graduated from a big public secondary school, and only a handful of her classmates are attending Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Wake Forest, W&L, Richmond or other privates. Slightly more at UVA, but not as many as I would have expected. A few at W&M. Many more, including some of the very top students at her school, are attending Virginia Tech, JMU, VCU, and GMU. From what DD says, a lot of them were interested in very specific majors and chose their school based on rep in a particular field, as well as cost. Many got merit aid and are attending with the idea that they’ll use the cost savings for grad school. [/quote]
