[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would add James Madison, Pitt and Va Tech...lots of smart kids in DS class at Churchill cross states for these places[/quote]
A kid from a Fairfax County high school can get into much better college out of state than JMU.  Agree that Pitt is one of those.  Penn State too.  I'm curious about some of the other good out of state schools.  [/quote]

Obvious flamebait to state that Pitt is considered so much harder out of state from MD than JMU. Farifax County was never discussed, and if it were JMU/Va Tech are historically backups for UVa/WM in selectivity, everyone knows this.

What is also weird on DCUM: every time James Madison U. or Va Tech is mentioned, someone brings up George Mason in the same discussion, and describes the person who mentions VT or JMU as a school "booster" as if that is a negative?

For the record, James Madison is a rather large school, it is no longer the selective little liberal arts school it was in the 80s. I would be shocked that there aren't multiple "boosters" of this school.

And yes, from Mont Co HSs, JMU is not very easy to get into. [/quote]
