[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone living in Virginia choose mary wash over a UVA?  UVA is very accessible under the NoVa guaranteed admission program - "As a NOVA student, you are offered Guaranteed Admissions to a variety of four-year colleges and universities when you meet the requirements of the written Agreement between NOVA and that college. Be sure to read the Agreements carefully. These Agreements guarantee admission to a college or university but most do not guarantee admission to a specific program." Schools include UVa, William & Mary, Georgetown, George Washington, Virginia Tech, and more, both in-state and out-of-state. You have to be a Virginia resident, and attend a Virginia community college, and achieve high grades in the core subjects that most 1st and 2nd year students take anyway. This deal cannot be beat.

It's important to me that my child have the opportunity to spend 4 years in one place (or 3 plus study abroad) and to start living in a dorm at 18.  If MW offers that, and the other choice is two years at NCCC before starting at UVA as a Jr., then I think that's a grat option.[/quote]

In 20 years that degree still says Mary Washington and your child has to explain what Mary Washington is - hope those extra two years in Fredricksburg were worth it.  [/quote]

+1 why is it so hard for some to acknowledge the value of a brand name education?[/quote]
