[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want UVA to take more instate students?  Make it larger!  [/quote]

UVA is pathetic, it's one of the smallest flagstate schools in the nation compared to the number of HS students.

I don't know why VA residents tolerate it.

incoming... UVA booster claiming VA tEch and UVA are basically 1 university.  :roll: [/quote]

Dean J has suggested that UVA is not the state’s flagship university. I don’t think VA, per se, claims to have one. VA has a variety of institutions. Everyone can find a place. No need to centralize everything at one school. In California, the UC system is considered the flagship. [/quote]

Historically, UVA and William and Mary have been considered the most selective options in Virginia.  Combined, they have about 23,500 undergraduates, with about 2/3rds of that total, or about 15,500 in state.  UNC Chapel Hill would be comparable for the State of North Carolina.  It has 19,117 undergraduates, with 82%, or 15,675, coming from in-state.  Since NC has about 23% more people than Virginia, you can't say Virginia has a very different model or comparatively few slots.  UT Austin has 40,000 undergraduates but a state population 3.4X as large as Virginia.  It actually has fewer spots there on a per capita basis than Virginia.[/quote]
