[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kinda[b] dispels the myth about NOVA schools sending "dozens" to UVA doesn't it? Y[/b]es they might technically have dozens ut they are huge schools of 500+ kids in the senior class. People accused me of lying when I said my kids school only had about 10 accepted, but we have a population of  less than 400.

Washington Liberty for instance according to the school profile has 577 seniors and had 47 accepted, that's 8%, which again means you have to be well under the 10% threshold alot of folks bandy about on this website. Yorktown also only 8% of the population got in. [/quote]

Yes, only 5 out of 23 at Arlington Tech.  Only two got in from my son's VA private - both accepted to UVA.  I also noted that GMU and JMU have become much more difficult to get into - depending upon the school, less than 20% of the applicants, up to may be half on average.  Certainly not what it was a few years ago.[/quote]

Agsin, NOT TRUE.  GMU has become EASIER to get into over the last few years.  There's NO WAY the GMU admissions "data" reported in thos article are correct.  A 3.0 gets you in.[/quote]

Use the link on the 18:10 post to see the verified acceptance rate for each Virginia college from every individual Virginia county. [b] JMU and GMU acceptance rates from NOVA are pretty high. [/quote][/b]

But remember public school students self-select into the public universities where they, and the public high school counselor, think they have the best shot.  Hence the acceptance rates for all publics is higher than comparable privates because the applicant pool is higher.[/quote]

My kids’ counselor didn’t care about their “best shot” at anything.  She just sent transcripts and ended up resigning 3/4 of the way through the school year.  That’s public high schools these days.[/quote]
