Two of my 3 DCs currently attend UVA and this is their story: moved to DC area from San Francisco when my 3 children were under age 5. DH and I decided to live in NOVA rather than DC or MD for two reasons: taxes and the excellent in-state university choices. While our kids were in high school we told them we can afford in-state public, or private with merit aid.  DC1 refused to apply to UVA after one visit in HS and ended up at a SLAC with a scholarship for half the tuition. DC2 visited UVA for the first time fall of senior year of HS, liked it, was accepted early action and attends. DC3 applied to colleges all over the country looking for merit money, as well as UVA (and W&M). Didn't step foot on UVA grounds even once despite the fact that DC2 is there until DC3 was accepted. DC3 now attends UVA.  Far cry from your conscious strategy/brainwash theory, PP, but I'm guessing since it doesn't fit, you'll dismiss it.[/quote]

Not the OP, but her (his?) point is not that everyone whose kids attend UVA is obsessed with it, or that everyone in Northern Virginia is obsessed with it, or that obsession with a state school is unique to Virginia.

And I do know people who are obsessed. Small but weird group. [/quote]
