Perhaps that is because they are OOS and paying $75K to $80 a year and don't know in-state tuition at UVA is only $16K a year.  Perhaps they don't know how difficult it is to get in from NOVA and how prized it is if your student wants to go on to grad school because you can invest the difference and have enough to pay for grad school later.  Perhaps they don't know how difficult it is to get in.  The 75th percentile of last year's entering class is a 1500 SAT; a 34 ACT and a 4.49 GPA.[/quote]

I really don’t know what a school being cheap has to do with people in this area over-rating it. People outside of this bubble think of it as a solid state flagship like so many others, and that’s about it.

I was so astonished when I moved here to listen to people talk about it as if it were just short of an Ivy. That’s just not how anyone outside this bubble thinks of it, no matter what USNWR says. [/quote]
