[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, troll, I'll bite. First, a "smart" UVA student is redundant. They're all smart, or they wouldn't have gotten in. Second, UVA has one of the highest first-year retention rates in the country: 97 percent, rivaling the Ivy League. So the overwhelming majority of UVA students do not transfer. Having said that, I know of two students over the years who transferred to VCU for its superior fine arts program. [b]There's a lot of pressure on top NOVA high school students to choose UVA or William and Mary simply because they can get it, when neither is necessarily the best school for their interests.[/b][/quote] Well said. So many parents assume if your child gets into one of these schools, they *must* go there. It's ridiculous. There are so many great schools out there, many of which are a better fit.[/quote]
