It's a good school that unfortunately gets overlooked by many solely because it's too close to home.[/quote]

Exactly.  I’m sure other kids (from elsewhere) rule out universities that they live close to as well.  Kids from all over come to GMU, so it’s really just locals who pooh-pooh it due to proximity.[/quote]
I don't know. Well over half of students at GMU are from NoVA.[/quote]

False.[/quote]
[b]That's what SCHEV says.

From Fairfax County - 9,602 undergraduates
From Prince William County - 3,794 undergraduates
From Loudoun County - 3,368 undergraduates
From Arlington County - 748 undergraduates 
From Alexandria City - 451 undergraduates
From Fairfax City - 333 undergraduates
From Manassas City - 278 undergraduates 
From Masassas Park City - 182 undergraduates 
From Falls Church City - 68 undergraduates

27,519 undergraduates, so about 67% are from NoVA.[/quote][/b]

I don't see where SCHEV says that.[/quote]

Why is it so hard to simply provide a link?[/quote]
https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/E12RA_Report.asp[/quote]

This link is from 2013.  And shows none of the above.  So I can only assume the above "information" was made up.  [/quote]

[b]The link does show what the PP said about numbers of students from Northern Va going to GMU.  Are you incapable of using the SCHEV data search?  [/quote][/b]

This link does not show what PP claims.  First, you can get to the figures for 2022 (instead of  2013) by clicking through at the top of the page.  That will show you that only the [b]total undergrad student population from Fairfax County is 9,6022, which is only 41.1 percent of the undergrad student body.  [/b].  Even if you went with the 2013 figures FF numbers would still be only 2% higher.  So PP is simply wrong claiming 67%.  [b]I knew it had to be wrong because I have a DS there. And I've taught there[/b].[/quote]

'T[b]is a pity you are so stupid and yet you actually taught at GMU.  You are a poor reflection of the quality of teachers there.[/quote][/b]

Right . . . you don't like stats.  Fairfax County has a large amount of students because they are the best in the state.  Same is true when you throw in the rest of the top nova schools.  No surprise there.  Berkeley and UCLA get most of their kids from the high scoring publics in California's metropolitan areas and few privates.  No surprise there either[/quote]
I would say it is more about proximity. [/quote]

No. It’s about caliber of student. Name any other high schools of the caliber of Fairfax anywhere else in the state. Name any s hook district like FCPS, Arlington, Asburn (on the rise) in any other part of the state.  There aren’t even pockets of great high schools or school districts in the rest of the Commonwealth[/quote]
