[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can be “need blind” and still filter for economic status. For example, is it harder to get in from an expensive private than from a large city public that seves an underserved population? [/quote] Fine with me if it is. It’s a public school serving the state of Virginia, whose residents are overwhelmingly educated in public schools.[/quote] What are you even talking about? There are residents of Virginia, paying the same taxes, that attend private schools. Of course they deserve the same access to the state’s public universities. It shouldn’t be harder or easier to get into UVA from a private school. [/quote] Your tax paying status gets you in-state tuition at any Virginia university, not a seat at any specific one. If you choose a high school that can cherry pick top students and your kid finds it harder to stand out, that’s on you. [/quote]
