[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just at the Madison HS graduation and I was stunned to hear so many of their Honors students are going to NOVA and then transferring. I guess lots of parents have become more money conscious and are trying to save a buck in this crazy economy.[/quote]
Honestly I know someone whose DD did that and is not transferring to UVA after 2 years (kid was academically motivated in HS).  Not everyone has saved 160k per kid for state tuition.  And yes, with this economy paying as you go is much harder.  The fact some DCUMers can’t grasp this fact is telling. [/quote]

If you go back and look at the OP they allowed for the possibility that economics could account for some of Marshall’s less impressive results compared to nearby schools.[/quote]
Yes and I was replying to the PP who said many Madison honors kids are going to NOVA.  Also, My guess is the kids in more well off schools might not be adverting they aren’t going to flashy schools that on Insta?  Idk. [/quote]
