[quote=Anonymous]All you Virginians are secretly hoping you have the luxury to turn down Tech.  You'd never admit it openly because to do so would imply your baby geniuses might not be a shoe-in at Charlottesville.   Since most of you came from someplace else and were cream of the crop in your podunk towns, you assume your kids will be as well and that they will waltz into UVA or Ivy this or that or some other elite.  Fact is, they might but competition is harder here in the big city both in terms of the students and in terms of college distribution acceptance.  As a third generation DC area resident, I have seen this cycle and lived it. You come here, think you are special and that DC is provincial and "not NY or LA" or whatever.  Then you meet people and most people here are above average and assume their kids are too.   Prepare to be disappointed when you take Christopher Newport because Tech won't accept your AAP genius and neither will JMU.  Your kids will do fine at Elon and you will describe it as an elite school.  ;)[/quote]
