[quote=Anonymous][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[/b], etc.  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]

Your number is way off. You are probably confused with the numbers for Ivies. [b]McLean sent 31 to UVA and 18 to William and Mary[/b] this year. The acceptance rate for UVA is about 40%. It's really not that hard to get in to GMU/JMU.

So the numbers "31 to UVA" is the number of students who actually went to UVA, not including the ones that got accepted to UVA but chose to go elsewhere?  Because I had heard that about 50 students usually get into UVA from Langley & McLean.[/quote]

Yes. Acceptance number for UVA is 50, and 47 for William and Mary.[/quote]
