[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a bizarre thread.  I attended UNC from out of state and didn’t apply to UVA.  My kid had no interest in applying to UVA, nor, as far as I know, did any of his friends.  It’s a great school, and a good value in state, but it’s not for everyone. The assumption that it should be is just bizarre to me.  I certainly wouldn’t expect most kids to have any interest in the tiny LAC my kid attends. [/quote]

It's parochial thinking. People want to believe what they want to believe. On DCUM, if you dare to suggest UVA is not a quasi-Ivy, it's like you spat on all the gods.

It's people who realize that there are a large swath of schools that are roughly equivalent and that 40k+ a year is a lot of money. I'd let my kid turn down UVA for a tippy top school, but if my kid got into both and wanted to go to Cal or Michigan they'd have to really explain why that experience is worth 150k. I'm sure there are families with enough money that 150k is nothing, but to us that is a huge sum of money  [/quote]
