[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a strong student with good academics but never really forced himself to get a bunch of leadership positions or create clubs he had no interest in just for college. As a result, we don’t think he’d say Harvard or Duke caliber, but he’s still looking for a good school. Given that VA has so many strong options, does it even make sense to look outside of UVA, VT, W&M, etc.?[/quote]

No it does not sound that he has the energy or vision to go OOS. Try VT or JMU[/quote]

Now you're claiming it takes "energy and vision" to simply go OOS?   :lol:  :lol:

+1 what a ridiculous comment by the PP. OP already said their kid isn't looking at the Harvard/[b]Duke[/b] type of schools that are full of super smart and driven students. Even a choice like WashU with lots of good academic options could be interesting to explore over the in-state schools without having to be type A all the time.[/quote]
