<p>For an out of state student considering UVa, I’d also recommend considering the U. of Delaware. It is similar in many aspects, including having a similar size, similar campus/grounds, similar social life, similar academic offerings, and a similar town. U. Delaware’s sticker tuition price is much less expensive out of state than UVa and they offer substantial need based and merit aid to out of state applicants. It is 2/3rds out of state. U. Del. is very selective in out of state admissions, but not as difficult as UVa.</p>
