Re: STEM - they are here too. Never heard of Harvey Mudd before this page (I’m from PA originally and was liberal arts focused when I was applying to colleges). The VT love here is mainly about the STEM there and I think a lot of the UMD love is STEM related too.

Of course people are obsessed. UVA and W&M are very tough admits, and kids who get in are often UMC donut hole kids getting $90k private college educations at half the price. If you could save $200k in tuition, you’d obsess about ways to do it too.

There is a reason almost all of NOVA applies to at least one of these two if not both.

For publics, UVA, UMD, VTech for instate tuitions.

For privatesj, NYU, Northeastern, BostonU.
They get the most applications from DMV area.

NYU is my idea of Hell, & I’m surprised so many people like it.

Nah that’s not it. We happily pay 87k for ivy but recognize that W&Mary and UVA are excellent schools

Okay. Now imagine a world where your kid doesn’t get into Yale, Dartmouth or Brown. Shocking, but some kids don’t get in. W&M price tag vs a high caliber LAC? UVA vs Emory? Assuming no need based aid and $90k a hard or impossible lift without significant loans?

People here either love or hate hate them.

Love them: went there or kid got in there
Hate hate them: they or kid were rejected

THIS 1,000%

No love for Denison? I seem to remember threads where people rain down hugs and kisses on this school. Am I misremembering?
