[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is not a good deal so if cost is a factor, kids might be opting for merit elsewhere.[/quote]

UVA is a great deal. What better deal are you finding in VA? [/quote]

NP but my senior didn’t apply to any schools in VA and his OOS school ended up costing less than UVA. He had no interest in applying there. It’s not a good fit for everyone.

It’s not true, but some feel like the VA schools will be a continuation of HS and this area. He didn’t even want to visit them and only looked OOS.  [/quote]

I could've written the same thing. My DS is graduating from Marshall and did not want to go to any DMV schools. [/quote]

If you look at the Instagram pages the percentage of Marshall kids staying in-state is higher than at some nearby schools.  It’s just that the more common state schools are VT, JMU, VCU, and GMU rather than UVA. [/quote]

Plus plenty of Marshall kiddos go to Northern Virginia Community College too.[/quote]
