[quote=Anonymous]12:18, I'm a NP.  I appreciated your thoughtful response earlier (at 3AM?), and there is no need to get so hostile with the other poster.

I went undergrad to W&M and got my graduate degree at UVA.  I am also active in fundraising for both.  The Commonwealth of Virginia gives far less now than it did when I was in school, and the colleges are desperately trying to increase their endowments.  I would not count on the state reducing funding to their flagships in favor of GMU or others.  Rather, I would expect that their contributions to all the state schools will fall.

OOS students now pay almost as much as they do for private colleges while the school tries to honor their status as a state school and keep in-state tuitions low.   But plenty of NoVa residents (not their parents, fyi) still apply, and diversity is far different than a narrow view that geography is all that counts - or race, gender, etc.  There is no harm in applying, and it seems defeatist to tell good students that they don't have a chance.[/quote]
