<p>Exactly. There are good students and good schools everywhere, just a higher concentration of them in Northern Virginia than the rest of the state. I thought I was pretty clear when I said UVa should accept the best instate students regardless of geography.</p>

<p>That’s pretty funny – accusing me of whining, please go back and review some of your rants in this thread.</p>
<p>I don’t feel lucky or entitled. I was admitted to the colleges that I deserved to be admitted to, based on the quality of my application. I was offered admission to schools ranked higher than UVa, but chose to come here because I liked the school and <em>GASP</em> I wanted to save my parents some money. Also, I was not admitted everywhere that I applied, but I harbor no bitterness about that. </p>
<p>My parents did not feed me any of the bs that you tell your kids, they just let me know what they expected and I tried to meet those expectations. I didn’t realize how deprived I was – no Nobel Laureate next door to help me with physics – lol.</p>
