The guidance counselors at our school are only educated about Virginia state schools. They have never heard of anything out-of-state except for the big Ivies.

<p>Yeah, I went to a high school with a similar approach to higher education. The guidance counselors were great if you were looking at schools within a five-hundred mile radius, but didn't have much to say about schools beyond that area. I guess it's not a localized phenomenon :)</p>
<p>Good for you.</p>
