Q: What Virginia colleges do job offers want to see?
I'm just thinking ahead. I'm only a freshman in high school, but I want to go to a really good college. When I complete college and try to get a job, which Virginia colleges would someone "Wow" about?

A: Hey Stephanie, I think I can help you out with this. I actually went to college in Washington, DC, but I live in Virginia and am very familiar with the higher ed system there. The thing with Virginia is it has a lot of very good colleges, so I'll try to break it down for you. As far as wow factor, the University of Virginia is always going to be the best. UVA is one of the top 3 public universities in the U.S. and one of the best schools in general. As far as the top 3 state schools, UVA is up there with the University of Michigan and Cal-Berkeley. I would say the best school for your money is William and Mary College in Williamsburg. It is also one of the better public schools in America and is the second best in Virginia. Plus, as an added bonus, most people think W&M is a private school because of the name. Doesn't hurt, thats for sure. Also, tuition rates for the quality of education you receive there are very reasonable. Other good colleges include: Virginia Tech is heavy on the technical aspects, but a good, solid education overall. Additionally, it has good name recognition with employers. James Madison in Harrisonburg, ranked number 2 in regional universities in the South. The University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg; its also a very competitve school, but is much smaller than the previously listed and gives you the small, private college feel, even though it is public. For liberal arts colleges, Washington and Lee University is also a very competitive and well respected small college. Also, I'm going to list University of Richmond, also a competitve liberal arts college with a really beatiful campus. Lastly, I'll throw in George Mason University, up here in Northern VA, it's not the best school, but it is up-and-coming and is quite strong in certain programs. Although it could be debated, the order that I listed the universities in is the order of how well they are respected, as on resumes. UVA and William and Mary are easily the best and will always help you career wise, but the other schools are good as well, in addition to a few more VA schools that I did not list. Remember, chose on the overall package, not just what the rankings say. Atleast you'll have plenty of time to do your research since you're a freshman. Good luck! I hope I was able to help you out!

Q: Virginia Colleges?
I live in virginia and am applying to only in-state universities. I don't have the grades or gpa to try to get into UVA or William and Mary. But I am applying to James Madison, Virginia Tech, and some other safety schools. I have a gpa of 3.52 and an SAT score of 1820 (630 critical reading and 580 math) i have taken a ton of APs, and have done some extracurricular sports. I am a senior by the way. What are my chances of getting accepted into James Madison and Virginia Tech? Any virginia residents please help me out.

A: Don't sell yourself short. Your SAT and GPA are only a little below the average for University of Virginia and William & Mary. It would be difficult for you to get into either of those schools if you were from another state. But as a Virginia resident, you have a legitimate shot at both of them. Virginia Tech is likely -- and James Madison is probable.

Q: How would you currently rate the colleges in Virginia(public only)?
Just wondering how people around the country would rate the colleges in Virginia based on reputation and recognition. Also, please don't look up stats on each school or look up what schools are in VA, I just wanted to know what you know. Thanks.

A: The College of William and Mary is an incredibly prestigious school (especially where I live, on the East Coast.) UVA is one of the best schools in the country. George Mason isn't good but it isn't bad...it has an okay reputation. Same with Virginia Tech and James Madison. Any other public college doesn't have a good reputation.

Q: What colleges in Virginia offer journalism as a major ?
I have to start visiting colleges next year and I wanted to get an idea of what they offer. I was wondering if anyone knew of colleges in Virginia that offer journalism as bachelors major. Thanks =)

A: Most of the better schools in the state (and the best schools in Virginia are pretty pathetic by national standards) do not offer undergraduate journalism programs. Indeed journalism is not an an undergraduate major at most of the better universities in the United States, where graduate programs in journalism seek students with a good liberal arts background and are unlikely to admit students with undergraduate journalism degrees..

Q: What colleges in West Virginia offer Library Scienes?
I have a PROMISE scholarship, which pays for all tutition but it only applies at West Virginia schools. I want to be a librarian. So I'm wondering what WV colleges offer my degree? Thanks in advance.

A: Library science is a masters degree, not an undergraduate degree - you need a 4-year college degree to apply to an MLS program. But you can apply with a major in anything - English, history, art, even science. So find a school in WV that you like, get your 4-year degree in something that interests you, and then apply for library school. Here's a list of masters programs. http://www.ala.org/ala/educationcareers/education/accreditedprograms/directory/index.cfm
