[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is ranked in 20’s and W&M ranked in 50’s. Wouldn’t ranking matter? [/quote]

If this is how YOUR CHILD (not you) is choosing, you're doing it wrong.[/quote]

I get it. It's hard not to buy into that.  But, it is far from the whole story.

My kid got into a T10, GU and really selective SLAC in addition to UVA WM.  The state schools are the two lowest ranked of his acceptances.

But, they are in the final running with the other...5 currently.  There is a lot to consider about all of.  This is a busy month. My kid is attending admitted student days, weekend(s) at all of them.

We want him to see where he feels the most comfortable and where he fits the best.

I think a lot of us think the actual college doesn't tell the whole story...like you want a sticker that says 'but I also was accepted into...X, Y, Z'.  If you read this board especially because people make crappy assumptions based on what a kid posts on his Decision Day Instagram story. You have zero idea. My neighbor turned down an Ivy.  We might be in the same boat, as well as GU.  We are in a UMC neighborhood filled with donut hole families who don't get need-based aid so these $90-100K price tags really are a deterrent when you have to pay in full.[/quote]
