[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA accepted 4 kids from our private class of 250. All had 4.0uw(or close to it), highest standardized scores (35 ACT) and very well-rounded.  They are picking off the best of the best from the DMV.  Some publics have 600 kids per class in UMC educated areas and the few accepted from those classes are cream of the crop.

I have seen it’s easier to get into U Mich at a lot of big public NoVA HS for slightly less tier than it is to get into UVA. Everyone wants the in-state tuition.  So many more kids apply from VA to UVA. My kid and his friends did not even apply to U Mich, but they all applied to UVA, WM, VT and a bunch of Ivies.[/quote]

Sure, but this is now. Currently it is super competitive. The question is what will it look like in the future when there aren't enough kids applying with 4.0 UW but UVA still needs 2/3 Virginians. [/quote]

The same top kids will still be there.  What about Michigan with a [b]not as intelligent state? Not the highest education levels and salaries like VA? [/b]And with increasingly high OOS tuition, they are pulling even more in-stare when donut home families can’t keep up with the rising cost of tuition.

Everything points to the opposite of your assumption: more people are and will choose in-state because privates are approaching $100k/year for anyone over $150k HHI.

State universities are getting more and more popular. [/quote]

LOL. Apparently you’ve never been to the state of Michigan. There was enormous wealth in Detroit (see linked article), & when things got tough, it just moved to the suburbs, some of which are as luxurious as any in the country. There are still many automotive jobs, which even for blue-collar workers are like hitting the lottery.
