[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA tied w/W&M
JMU tied w/VT
VCU, GMU, CNU are only competitive to get in re: certain programs, and from a NoVa HS. 
CNU attracts conservative students and CNU is actively protecting their yield to raise their ranking. 
[b]GMU can be a annoyingly unpredictable if coming from a NoVa HS.[/b]
UMW 
ODU, Longwood, Radford
All schools have good programs for certain students. Depends on what the student wants
Obsessing over ranking these schools, IMO, suggests a negative re: the person asking the question
And re: all schools, it not just about getting in, it's also about getting out[/quote]

This is so true. DD is at GMU. Lots of her friends and DS's friends (two years later) did not get into GMU. I'm wondering if it is yield protection.  But we've been pleased with it. GMU is a great pick for engineering, science, economics and computer science.  But admissions does seem to engage in yield protection because I can't understand some of the waitlisted or rejected students.[/quote]
