So why would you want to send a top stats NOVA kid to be surrounded by mostly Michigan students? Serious question as I don't know what's so great about it versus WM and UVA.[/quote]

It’s not.  Most of the NoVA kids did not get into UVA. UVA is a harder admit from a big VA HS.  A lot of kids don’t want a small liberal arts school.  They want big football.

Disclaimer, U Mich is not on my kid’s lists. Sticking to the Northeast area.[/quote]

This. It's so easy to talk about where you would/wouldn't send your kid until you're sitting with their options and are like - oh crap, this doesn't look the way we thought it would - if you've got the money you might find yourself pivoting to something that in this forum you would have sworn you wouldn't do. For example, what if your kid is shut out of UVA and Tech, didn't apply to W&M because it wasn't what they were looking for, but got into JMU and Michigan? We'd pay for Michigan because we can afford it. [/quote]
