[quote=Anonymous][quote]For the pps banking on JMU being your kid's safety, be sure to check the stats. Guess where all those 3.95 GPA students go when they're rejected from UVA and W&M ... (and VaTech)?[/quote] JMU offers a very small selection of majors compared to some other VA schools, too. It doesn't seem like a reasonable backup for certain kids. M[quote]y son with high scores but just good GPA got plenty of merit offers from OOS and private colleges worth $80-100K over 4 years. None of the offers brought the cost to in-state levels. We are very grateful he had his choice of several great VA state schools.[/quote] This is what we're counting on if DS doesn't get into VA Tech (no interest in W&M or UVA). He would probably need maybe $8-12K/year at an OOS public to make it affordable, which should be doable at some schools. We're willing and able to pay a little more to allow him to pursue a decent program in the major he wants.[/quote]
