[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's kind of the point of this thread. If approx 30% of every high schools applicants get in, it might be easier to crack that percentage depending on the school. I imagine that group might look a little different school to school. 
Maybe at Langley it's 12 AP's, but at Stuart 4 is fine. 
There is a lot of flaming different schools on this board, and talk of the coveted pyramids, but I think people are creating problems for themselves. I'd rather have a well rounded child, that is healthy, well rested, and developing other interests. A child that isn't unnecessarily  stressed and enjoys their time at school. I truly don't think there is much difference in the quality of instruction between Yorktown and Annandale. Seems the extra curriculars and other opportunities are abundant all across nova. 
Seems people are placing pride and home value first. Perhaps the "best" school, isn't the smartest choice...[/quote]

Not that I disagree that it's better not to have HS kids so stressed, overworked, etc. but frankly it's more than a shame that outstanding in-state students don't have a chance to get into their own state's flagship university. UVA is a well-regarded and nationally ranked school, but for many parents we still look at the lens of in-state tuition vs. OOS and it's tough knowing your high-achieving kid still has little chance to attend.[/quote]

Bright side: we have many more options than other states...

JMU
