[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC chose CNU over UVA. He liked the fit better and the vibe. UVA was larger than he wanted as well. 10K was his goal but other than Radford and WM not many schools in that range. He is thriving at CNU and (from my biased view) is a big fish there. He made a great decision. He also wants to be closer to the beach than the mountains. [/quote]

What a bizarre decision, sorry.  [/quote]

You’re a jerk, sorry. DP[/quote]

The average GPA at CNU is about 1200 with an acceptance rate over 80%.  If your kid got into UVA, then your kid isn't a big fish in a little pond, your kid is a whale in a fishtank.  This does seem a little bit unusual.

NP and I've never been to CNU so I don't know the vibe.  My kid decided not to apply to UVA so I shouldn't even be responding.  But for this kid here, it could be about fit.  My senior will be attending a small OOS school you haven't heard of with a very high acceptance rate.  When we were on the tour his junior year, I remember looking at him during the tour and realizing how it was the perfect place and he fit right in.  It was like he finally found his people.  So who knows, maybe this kid just loved CNU for whatever reason.  Some don't care about prestige or rankings.[/quote]
