[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be happy if they took zero out of state or international students. [/quote]

OOS PP here.  I understand however if that ever happened the General Assembly would have to contribute a whole lot more to these schools than they do currently.
I also believe it benefits these institutions in many ways to have a geographically varied student body, even with a quota limiting its extent.
But as you are a taxpayer and as you no doubt have experienced some great VA students be denied, I can't blame you for the sentiment.[/quote]

There is no demonstrable benefit to admitted OOS students other than financial. (Is a kid from Nebraska really that different from another kid from Virginia?)

But you as an OOS PP have no doubt experienced your kid getting denied, and I can understand you being butthurt about it.[/quote]

I don't think we disagree a whole lot. [b]Every year it seems more and more great VA students are denied admission to their own state schools,[/b] and I think that is pretty rough, considering you all are taxpayers.   I agree with the quotas my state has too, and also wish the legislature would fund better.  I was an OOS at a VA university and my child will be next year.  If VA would go the way of UNC with limiting OOS even more, it would be understandable.  [/quote]
If "great VA students" are getting denied "to their own state schools," I'm going to guess they aren't applying to enough of them.

90% to 100%: GMU, Longwood, ODU, Radford, VCU, VSU, community colleges 
80% to 90% - CNU, JMU, NFU, UMW, UVA Wise

Because SCHEV person is probably starting their engines, county by county % here: https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/b8_admissions_locality.asp[/quote]

That’s pretty obvious. “Great” Virginua students don’t go to those schools. “Good” , “Average” and “Below Average” students like my DD go to them and for which I am very grateful they exist. The “Great” students fight for places at UVA and W&M and engineering at Tech. If that doesn’t work they go OOS and transfer in or do the guaranteed transfer program. If their parents can afford it, they go public or private OOS. Many “Great” Virginia students still use UVA as a safety for the ivies or other top SLACs. We could not afford that [/quote]
