[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UVA love on this board is hilarious. Outside VA, UVA is just another state school, but DCUM thinks it's Harvard.[/quote]

That is not true.  Years ago when I was in college many didn't know it was state supported unless they or friends applied.  People in PA, NJ, NY, etc apply there along with the NESCACS, GW, Georgetown etc.  [b]Plus it is cheaper for those out of staters than the privates.  Stupid of VA legislators.[/quote][/b]

Precisely.  And the reason for the level of UVA discussion on this board is that you can get a fabulous education in VA if you are a resident IF you can get in.  From our public high in NoVA there was no point in even trying because only a handful make it into UVA every year.  The competition is simply too fierce from NoVa and the legislators have let in too many OSS.  So we are in another VA University and getting an xlnt education for less than $10K.  Toured Yale last weekend.  Total package: $60,900 per year in after tax dollars, which for us means making $500,000 for four years of education (and most kids are taking 5 years now) for one child.  What choice would you make if you lived in VA?[/quote]
