[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do NOVA posters insist that "nobody" can get into UVA from NOVA?  According the SCHEV UVA accepted more than a third of FCPS applicants and a similar number from Arlington, Alexandria and Loudoun.  That's a lot of nobody.[/quote]

New poster here - the SCHEV data is really illuminating and I think most people don’t know it exists. It definitely proves high numbers of kids getting into UVA, VT, JMU etc as you mention. I looked recently at data for the NOVA counties for all those schools and compared with some of the smaller VA counties. In every case more students admitted and higher percentages admitted from NOVA all of which makes sense because there are more qualified applicants. Also JMU admissions rep said recently more kids from NOVA are admitted because NOVA kids tend to apply to more schools and go out of state more than other parts of Virginia so they already know not as many will accept so they make more offers.  The smaller schools with fewer slots (UVA, WM) will be more competitive but this is not unique to Virginia.[/quote]
