[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Move to a rural VA county and be at the very top of the class with max rigor at the county HS. Seriously. Applicants are compared with other students from their HS - for many many colleges. Big fish in smaller rural pond has the best odds for acceptance at many colleges. [/quote] Or, just move to a lower performing NOVA high school, take all the rigourous courses, get more leadership positions, play all the sports, get more house for your money, and keep your higher paid DMV job. It worked out for our kid. Third year at UVA. [/quote] This. You don't have to move to a rural area. Just go to one of the crappy high schools. But recognize your kid may not be as well prepared for the rigor of college. [/quote] Does UVA have a special program where they admit more from poor high schools? Families would flock to South Lakes and Herndon if they made this public [/quote]
