[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is one of the best state schools in the country so it’s an easy answer. [/quote]

Unless your kid is better off a small college. Then a [b]huge state school is a waste of money.[/quote][/b]

UVA isn't a huge state school like most of the other flagships. It has only 17,000 students. Also VA offers W&M which is an unusual
SLAC-sized public[/quote]

That's still a large school.  My kids targeted schools with 5-8K undergrads.  They both knew they would do better at a school that size.  Their HS was 2600, so they also knew they wanted more than 1-2K students (and one wanted engineering so that size was out anyhow for the major).  
Sure my kid could attend a large school and "survive" but they will thrive more easily at a 5-8K school.  
And if your kid is "qualified" for a T25, they can easily go to the 30-75 range and get good merit.  my top kid did that at several schools--including one around 50 that gave $42K/year merit.  So yearly cost would be $45K---not that much more than the 27-28K for state schools.  [/quote]
