[quote=Anonymous]It was interesting going through the college process--Fall of senior year my kid was sure that "nearly everyone" in his classes was going to UVA or W&M (or VT if they wanted engineering) or some elite private/OOS public. Come May there were a handful who went to the "top" schools but most--even in AP classes and kids generally regarded as smart, good, engaged students--were going to GMU, JMU, VT for degrees other than engineering, CNU, VCU, NOVA etc. And it all seemed fine and good and people were happy for others no matter where they were going and it wasn't a big deal being one of the ones who was off to UVA/W&M or an elite private/OOS school--kids mainly seemed excited to be done with HS and eager for what's to come next. Same as I remember generations before. It was a relief after all the stress of junior year/fall senior year around college applications to see them all come together like that. [/quote]
