I think the first shot fired is as early as page ONE:

“You are going to OOS public instead of in state UVA because you didn't get into UVA.“

The UVA fans might not realize it but their confidence in statements like this is nauseating. I mean who are you to make a statement like that? The 13th grade stuff (which I did not take part in & don’t agree with) came after repeated insults like this. [/quote]

But here’s the thing: poster after poster admitted that their kids were going to school out of state because they couldn’t get into UVA.[/quote]

Let’s look at cross admits.

UVA 82% Indiana 18% 
UVA 80% UC Boulder 20%
UVA 75% Delaware 25% 
UVA 72% Arizona 28% 
UVA 67% Wisconsin 33% 
UVA 65% UCSB 35%
UVA 64% Perdue 36%
UVA 63% UIUC 37% 
UVA 57% UT Austin 43%
UVA 54% GA Tech 46%
UVA 46% UCLA 54% 
UVA 43% Michigan 57% 
UVA 40% Berkeley 60%

Plenty of kids who get into UVA are choosing other flagships. Even for lower ranked schools it’s [u]at least[/u] 1 out of 5 kids.

First, it’s Purdue the university not Perdue the chicken.  Second, even if this days were reliable and accurate, and we’re not sure it is, it doesn’t account for in state versus out of state.  The number that counts - at least for this thread - is the percent of UVA in state kids who are turning it down to go to those other schools out of state. [/quote]
