My MCPS W school kid is not considering UVA. No way to justify the exorbitant OOS tuition.

Neither of my kids were interested in UVA. One wanted to be an engineer and one wanted to major in physics. N

It’s 70k out of state. DD will apply because it’s a great deal instate, OOS it’s a terrible deal

My MCPS kid (senior) has no interest in any schools in Virginia. My MCPS sophomore might be interested but it's too soon to tell.

Come on. Of course some people don’t apply. It’s a great school, but not for everyone.

This is weird thread.

Not sure why the local, but out of state interest though because price is quite high and very low chances of getting in. You'd expect to hear that in VA, though honestly not everyone applies even here. At our LCPS about 75 people applied in a class of 400+. (and 11 got in)

My kid decided not to apply after our visit.

(But I think the initial appeal was reputation, campus, historic significance and price)

UVA boosters strikes again. Must have been on vacation.
