Virginia has other schools than UVA and UVA. UMD doesn't compare to UVA. I say this as a parent in MD who would be thrilled if my kids could get in UVA.[/quote]

[b]Both are fine schools, but there's a whole lot of private universities out there that many would hope their kids can attend.[/quote][/b]

Not with privates heading towards $85K a year in after-tax dollars. The real press now is on the public university systems to meet the demand of its constituents.  Almost all of the Virginia universities have been overenrolled for this fall so triples and quads are being forced at UVA, Virginia Tech, GMU, etc.  The State of California has reacted to this press from Californian parents for more seats in its public school system to the point where now OOS will be limited to only 20% of student body including international.   When parents realize there is a delta of anywhere from $45 to $60K a year in after-tax dollars between UVA and privates, they begin to see the need for sending children to Virginia's great public universities and saving the delta for grad school - which in many cases is now $100K per year.[/quote]
