[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2017, HB Woodlawn sent more kids to VCU than to UVA, and sent more kids to JMU than UVA in 2016.  [/quote]

Not even remotely surprising.  VCU has the best arts program in the state -- and one of the best in the country -- and HB has a lot of kids with an arts bent.

UVA has never been a big draw for HB grads.  Too mainstream for many.  Doesn't mean they're not applying or not getting in.  For the year you listed, yes, only 4 went -- but 10 got in.  [/quote]

In 2016 almost twice as many HB students applied to UVA as VCU.  Try again. [/quote]

So what?  Virtually every top NOVA high school student applies to either UVA or William and Mary or both.  The point is, they didn't go.  Plus I thought you said [b]2017[/b], not 2016.  And in 2017 28 kids applied to UVA and 26 applied to VCU.  That's not double. [/quote]

So what? More turned down by UVA.[/quote]

You're arguing in circles and making no sense.  [b]The only school in the country where the majority of UVA applicants aren't turned down is TJ[/b].  But, since we're on the subject, the majority of William & Mary applicants (10 of 18) did get in.  That's damn impressive, and I'll bet it didn't happen at McLean.[/quote]

T[b]hat would seem pretty doubtful.  UVA in-state acceptance rate has been low 40s, [/b]so it would seem likely some schools are over 50%.  Same could be true of OOS schools with few people applying.[/quote]

It has dropped to 25.6% and, yes, the applicants self-select so you can't compare to private SLACs or other private universities.  EAch state system is unique. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uva-releases-admissions-decisions-and-uva22-begins-trending-grounds[/quote]
