[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richmond is private, not public.

But there are lots more....VCU, CNU, ODU, Radford, VMI, UMW.  Not sure what more OP needs.

Some are very selective, some not selective at all and some in between.[/quote]

+1. VA has some of the better state schools around.  What the OP wants, I suspect is more schools at the UVA/W&M/VaTech "ranking".  They could not imagine sending their kid to GMU, JMU, VCU, ODU, Radford, Mary Washington, etc.

MD has UMD and then it drops to UMBC (266) and then Towson (459)

UVA is 55 and VaTEch is 106 (These are college simply rankings, so you merge all LA, SLAC, regional universities into one ranking).  JMU is 258, GMU is 244, VCU 455.

It's a no brainer---VA has [b]much better options [/b]for in state than MD.  [/quote]

If you cannot get in, that’s not an option. UVa, W&M and VT are not options for many many Virginia kids.

Being better than MD doesn’t mean much.

Give it a rest. VT accepts about 6 out of 10 applicants.  Used to be 7 out of 10.  And that includes all the engineering students.[/quote]

Give me a break.

See the in-state vs out of state admission rates. Also compare the engineering vs ag school admission rates.

VT average acceptance rate is relatively high only because the acceptance rate of unpopular majors is quite high and the OOS admission is easier.  [/quote]
