[quote=Anonymous][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]

This.  They may eventually end up at UVA, just not as freshmen.  OP and others here are so delusional and unaware of the fact that a lot of parents (especially in lower SES school districts) do not have massive 529 accounts if any at all.  And they also don't qualify for financial aid.  Your typical lower middle class or middle class family would find paying all 4 years of state school to be a huge financial hardship.
