[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you rank them yourself based on what's important to YOUR KID as opposed to what a bunch of internet strangers think? [/quote]

Exactly.  These threads are so stupid.  I would rank some of those schools much higher because they offer programs that are important to MY KIDS.  Who care what strangers think?  Everyone has their own priorities.  [/quote]

OP here. I try not to respond to posts like these, but it always kills me when people bother to comment on posts just to say that they are "stupid".  I realize how this thread can come off to some of you.  Personally I have found some of the posts here to be interesting and informative.  Thanks to all who have posted insightful information about these schools in VA.  I've learned quite a bit and appreciate your collective knowledge.

I'm the PP.  I didn't mean that your questions were stupid.  Only that the responses you're getting are, with people trying to rank these schools according to their own (very blatant) biases.  I've written a few of the "informative" posts myself - what to visit at each school, etc.  It's the posters who think they're the arbiters of which schools are the "best" and which aren't who need to be called out.  I hope you're taking those posts with a major grain of salt, and use your own judgment (and that of your kids).[/quote]

OP again - point taken.  Of course we always get responses that aren't helpful, but it's a trade off for the posts that are helpful.  Thanks for any of the good information that you may have provided in this thread.  And don't worry, I'm definitely not taking any of this information as literal or definitive.  In the end, it's not my decision anyhow - it's my daughter's.  And she is a very opinionated young lady!  It's just that she doesn't have enough information to form an opinion on college yet.  But we're working on that ;-)[/quote]
