[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to this area. My kids are in ES, but this school seems to come into almost every conversation I have with other parents.  [b]It is a state school, just like other state schools, right[/b]? I heard that it was only difficult to get into if you are out of state like UNC CH.  Please enlighten me.  Thanks.  [/quote]

Wrong. Do you think it is comperable to say, the University of South Carolina or the University of Alabama?[/quote]

It's comparable to Michigan, California-Berkeley, UCLA, Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas, William and Mary. It's a really good state school, but it's still just a state school. [/quote]

You say "just a state school" - what does that mean?  Does the fact that it is public somehow lessen its status?  I guess I'm just not sure what you mean by "it's a good school but it's a state school."[/quote]

Huge. Too much Greek life. Too much emphasis on sports. Admissions policies are driven by political considerations, rather than merit.  [/quote]
