[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The trashing that invariably happens on these threads is sick. How about some gratitude for the fantastic in-state options Virginia offers?[/b][/quote]

People always talk about the "fantastic" colleges available in Virginia, but beyond W&M, UVA, Tech, and JMU the other schools are on par with other states' public universitites. [/quote]

Is JMU fantastic? By what measure? Just trying to be honest (and non-provincial) as ‘great’ and ‘fantastic’ get thrown around a lot. Test and gpa numbers, graduation rate, pretty much any ranking. Are comparably-ranked Stetson and Appy State great schools? In our school the top 10th/25th percentile students shoot for UVA/W&M/VPI(engineering) and the next tier shoot for JMU. [/quote]

Agree.  Our daughter made clear that after working her butt off in her NOVA public high school that it was UVA or out of state.  There would be no “settling” for JMU, where kids from her class with a fraction of her AP courseload and GPA and test scores were going.  It’s a top 1/3 kind of place.  That’s it.  [/quote]
