[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number for UVa really jumps out.  Why do some people say there is a bias against applicants from nova with impressive numbers like this?  Is it because it's such a crapshoot in terms of getting in there from other nova high schools?[/quote]

Precisely.  UVA takes mostly from TJ.  [b]Ten if a good year from Langley.  8 from McLean.  Zero from others, etc.  [/b]That's why you see posters coming on here complaining about how difficult it is to get into UVA from NoVA.  There is simply no way Langley was going to support our son's application to UVA when they have 600 in the senior class and know only a few will get picked - hence it has now become very competitive for Va Tech and GMU.  The VA parents need to send their kids somewhere they can afford.  It's simply too difficult to get into UVA from NoVA so parents try W&M, Va Tech, GMU, JMU, etc.[/quote]

UVA already goes over their ratio for NoVA students regularly too.  The issue is that there are a lot of high achieving kids of high achieving parents in excellent schools here.  And this is a huge metropolitan area.  Fortunately there are a lot of other fantastic schools in the Commonwealth, with lower tuition since UVA receives less than 20% from the state.[/quote]

You're data is way outdated.  Both Madison and Marshall had double digits going to UVA last year -- which I guess would put them both above Langley and McLean.   :lol: [/quote]
