[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish VA had a big state U that was more accessible for kids that aren’t at the tippy top, UVA and VT are not easy admits to say the least. And not all kids are into the smaller schools or want to stay locally for GMU. I also wish VA schools took less OOS kids.[/quote] I do not know of any VA public U which takes more than about 1/3 OOS. VT, UVa, and W&M all have agreements with the Commonwealth limiting OOS to about 1/3 of ugrads. Viewed nationally, this 1/3 OOS is not an unusually high OOS percentage. The schools need those full-pay OOS because they lose money on every full-pay in-state student. UVa and W&M are smaller than several other public Universities in VA. The "big state U" in VA might be either VT (VT for non-Engineering is a much easier admit than Engineering) or GMU -- at least by number of undergrads. [/quote]
