[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp I think you are correct. A very small (under 20%) of uva's budget is from the state. Could be 0 if they didn't have in state tuition.

And I am not sure why the gmu pp thinks that going to the top state university is a right for all Langley and McLean students.  Heck that's not even true in MD anymore and UMD is way larger.

I'm the OOS poster. My kid has a 4.65 weighted GPA, high SATs and will have 10 APs. So not totally out of line with the top group at Langley (although I know your grading system is different). IF DC gets in I don't think he will be diluting your gene pool too much. [/quote]

OK, smarty pants,  let's take your figures - which are wrong - UVA's operating budget exceeds 2.3 billion dollars.
http://www.virginia.edu/budget/Docs/Budget%20Summaries/2009-10BudgetSummary.pdf.   Since that pie chart comes from 2009, let's say UVA's operating costs are now 2.5 billion dollars.  Twenty percent of that you allege is provided by the state of VA.  Since you are so smart you do the math.  Who is paying for this?  My income tax.  [/quote]
