[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality also is that a state public university needs to accept students from all over the state.  When I was at UVA, a very very high percentage of students came from NoVA — and that is still the case.  For many of them, it clearly was HS a 2nd time and they had the same friends from home at UVa.

In Craig County, if any HS student gets accepted to any college, their name and school is posted on the HS sign board out front (meaning only maybe 10-12 per year go off to any college).

[b]In VA Beach, where the public schools are fine but the parents are less obsessive, getting in to UVa often will get a student’s name on the sign board (yes, it is a bit uncommon, so still notable).  [/b]

In FCPS, UVa attendance in particular is not atball uncommon.  Every FCPS HS sends bunches there every year, and the typical HS kid goes to college somewhere.[/quote]

This is comical.  My DS went to school in VB and is at UVA but there are no sign boards.  😆. Lots of kids go to UVA there and always have. [/quote]

I guess you don’t live near Cox HS, where it has happened within the last 6 months…[/quote]

Cox is showing the names of just the kids that got into UVA on a sign? BS.[/quote]
