[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol. Literally. I mean, it isn't California but it is flat out ridiculous to say Virginia does not have good in-state options. [/quote]
Honestly, [b]the only people who are unhappy about Virginia's in-state options are the few percent who are on the margins of getting into UVA.[/b] My kids aren't going to be applying to UVA, but they'll have at least a half dozen other schools to choose from in Virginia. All at a very reasonable cost, too. [/quote]
PP...yep that's us! [/quote]
I feel you. The Virginia legislature should follow the lead of other states, and limit OOS at UVA to 10% of the student body, and fund an increase in enrollment by at least 50%. [/quote]

In other words ruin it.[/quote]

I can accept “my kid can’t get in because only the very cream of the state gets to attend”

[b]I cannot accept “my kid can’t get in because the administration filled the place with kids from New York and New Jersey who don’t want to go to Rutgers and Binghamton and they pay double what you do”[/b][/quote]

So wait - this is what you tell yourself (and your kid) when they don't get into schools you feel they're entitled to get into?  Interesting.

The invasion of full pay students from northern states into southern schools has been happening for the past two years. They are flooding all of the southern schools. [b]And it’s happening out west too all of the kids that get shut out of the UC system are going to Texas schools[/b].[/quote]

I have a lot of friends and family in California, those who don't get in where they want in CA go to Texas, yes, but also Arizona and Oregon are big beneficiaries.[/quote]
