Makes sense not to. They have two top notch schools that won't leave you in debt for life.

When we visited, the admissions presentation stressed courses and grades more than SATs. With the SAT changing, I imagine that be true at even more schools.

Kids from NoVa are accepted at similar rates as kids from the rest of Virginia.

"The acceptance rate for in-state students is about 40 percent, compared to about 20 percent for out-of-state students, McCance said.

According to data maintained by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, the acceptance rate in 2012-2013 for Fairfax (which had 2,248 applicants) was 41 percent, for Loudoun (which had 678 applicants) was 36 percent, for Prince William County (which had 433 applicants) was 35 percent, and for Arlington (which had 298 applicants) was 41 percent."

It's the standards that are so different. Kids from NOVA will get rejected with the same SAT that would get them accepted from Charlottesville.

uva is excellent value for in state Virginians. Even though I prefer the state of MD over VA, VA must be commended for UVA.
