[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? Virginia has many schools for all types of students. [/quote]

Let me guess. YOUR kids go to one of the top 3? That's what I thought. There needs to be a change. [/quote]

NP. I have one kid at UVA and one kid who has applied to VTech (reach, unlikely) and JMU (likely). I have twins after the first two and I expect that one will apply to the top three (who knows?) and the other will be looking at JMU/VCU. I haven't even mentioned GMU which I think is a great and totally undervalued option.

I am not from Virginia and I can't BELIEVE the wealth of options here. I think VA is second only to California in this country and, in some ways, I'd take Virginia over CA because of the more serious overenrollment issues there. Other than CA, there is no other state in the country that compares in my opinion. I see people talk about North Carolina and Georgia but the drop off after the top two is too steep in my opinion. And some people love the NY schools but they don't have a UVA or even a Tech. And nobody has a William and Mary.

The only sense in which I have felt a little sting of unfairness is that I know my second kid would be in at Virginia Tech if we were not from NOVA. I am sure lots of people in FCPS feel the same way about UVA and W&M.  But I knew that going into it and I am over it, he's over it.

I repeat, we have incredible options in this state. My siblings are envious. My high school friends are envious. We are the lucky ones.[/quote]
