[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up in Hampton, Va. Bad, bad neighborhood, bad schools. If you were a reasonably decent A/B student, and did well on your SATs (there were about 20-30 of us in my HS class of around 1000 kids), you were a shoe in for UVA and W&M. Not everyone chose those schools, because other VA publics and some privates gave loads of scholarship money. When you are one of a handful of kids from your school, in an impoverished area, to do well, it's just a lot more impressive than a rich kid from FCPS. It has been this way for at least 15 years. So I always laugh at all the fighting and scrapping that goes on in FCPS as to which HS you are zoned for. If you really care about college admissions, move to Tidewater or Pennington Gap.[/quote] No thanks. Given the choice, I'll pay tuition to OOS U. [/quote]
