[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you rank them yourself based on what's important to YOUR KID as opposed to what a bunch of internet strangers think? [/quote]

In answer to your question, I'm not from here, so I don't know much about the schools except from internet searches.  I'm just trying to get a sense of things from people who are more familiar with the VA schools.  My kid doesn't know what she wants to major in.  She's not a math/science kid, but clearly a humanities/fine arts kid.  She'll probably go "undecided" if that's allowed.  She gets good grades in challenging courses - but not straight As, and as I understand it, UVA and W&M are very competitive, so those are probably out.  Not sure how to rank the rest and trying to eliminate some so we can narrow the field.  Trying to decide if a kid like that should bother looking at V-Tech, for instance.[/quote]
If you are "not from here", why are you focusing on VA colleges?
Also, has your daughter taken standardized tests? This is an important aspect of college admissions and state schools pay close attention to test scores.[/quote]

Focusing on VA colleges because we live in VA and thinking about cost (when I said I'm not from here, I meant that I haven't lived here long enough to know the schools).  
No - she hasn't taken tests yet, but [b]didn't do great on PSATs.  I realize that is a part of the admissions calculus[/b]. [/quote]

First time I'm hearing this.  Is PSAT also a factor in college admissions?

Really!  Why not kindergarten spelling tests!  Jeez![/quote]
