Oh, come on. Get your head out of Northern Virginia. TONS of kids all over the country are taking "standard track" everything and going to college. You do realize there are still a fair number of schools/school systems out there that do not have the same class offerings we have here, right?

This is just such small thinking. [/quote]
I want my kids to get into UVA, VT, JMU, William & Mary.  If you're okay with Christopher Newport or Radford or paying twice as much for a "good" school out of state that's fine.  I'm not.  Our kids have to compete with the other Northern Virginia kids for spots.  There may or may not be official quotas at the state schools, but the admissions office definitely compares applicants against all the other applicants from the same school and county.  If one kid has a less rigorous course load they aren't getting in.[/quote]

This is exactly us too. [/quote]
