[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think with their stats you’re looking at Longwood and ODU. Looks pretty solid for JMU and CNU and could increase to be even more competitive since he’s only a rising junior.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for the response.  But are JMU and CNU that much better than Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama, etc if the costs are about equal?  I guess I'm thinking ahead to after college with alumni networking, and just name recognition.   If he's working in say, Seattle or Miami and is asked where he went to school;  If he says Kansas people will know what he's talking about.  If he says JMU or Christopher Newport--will people ask "Where is that?"[/quote]

I went to Auburn, and I would much rather DC attend JMU or Christopher Newport than Auburn or any of the schools you mention. People outside of Virginia may ask where is that, but the name recognition of the schools you mention is not because of their academics. [/quote]

Surprised you are saying this about Auburn.  Huge number of applications this year and it is definitely a nationally known school.  The local Virginia schools you mention will just draw a blank look anywhere else in the country (maybe not JMU in some cases, but definitely Christopher Newport)[/quote]
