[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who said consider that kids will usually change majors, but something like this in no order:

Prelaw:  W&M and UVA
Art and Design:  VCU
Business:  UVA, W&M, JMU (remember you have to get accepted)
Pre-Med:  VCU if you can get accepted to guaranteed program and are OK with VCU, W&M and UVA
Engineering:  VT generally, UVA if it is one of its strong areas (e.g. biomedical engineering), GMU
Science (non-engineering):  W&M, UVA, VT
Need some discipline to get you going?:  VMI, VT Corps
Want an urban experience:  VCU, ODU 
Want a big sports experience?:  VT and UVA
Want to be an academic? W&M, UVA
Best Food:  VT and JMU
Big Party:  VT, JMU, Radford, UVA
Need to stay close to home for one reason or another?  Any obviously, but will be GMU, VCU, ODU for most.
Like somewhat smaller schools?  Longwood, MWU, CNU, MWU, W&M, Radford

Funny you didn't mention [b]various types of IT, comp sci, data science.[/b]  [b]Seems like ALOT of kids are and will be looking for those types of degrees given the future of our[/b] economy.  [/quote]

VT and GMU[/quote]

VT and GMU are investing, but pretty much all Virginia schools are.  Many schools have added data science majors and UVA is in the process of creating a School of Data Science.

PP a lot of kids will be looking for degrees like computer science in the future.  I'd perhaps say they should be since employment prospects are good, but enrollment has been strangely inelastic.  Demand continues to grow, but the number of graduates from U.S. schools doesn't follow.    [/quote]
