<p>You'll notice in-state students are accepted at a higher rate. This is because there is a (controversial) deal with Virginia community colleges which allows their students to gain entry if they have a 2.5+ GPA or so. Those students are at a comparative advantage with respect to all four-year students, inside and outside of Virginia. </p>

<p>So to answer your question if you are in-state at a community college you are in better shape. If you are at a 4-year institution in Virginia, then that is the same as being at a 4-year institution outside of Virginia.</p>
