Best Value Colleges 2016: The 300 Schools Worth The Investment

[Anonymous]

It's weird how much DCUM fetishizes UVA. I am from the east coast but lived in Chicago, NYC, and Philadelphia. Have never seen anyone value it more than other decent state flagships. Ranking around 20 is maybe even high.

I would have thought that UVa would be much higher

UVA would not be able to maintain any pretense of academic quality without accepting 200+ TJ kids each year.

UVA is ranked #94 in the USN Global University rankings and #24 by USN National University rankings not 20.

I know this is the kind of the wrong thread but those 200 kids would have gone to UVA if they would have stayed at their home school as well
So what is the point of TJ again?

TJ students represent less than 1% of all students. You can't really believe that the other 99% of UVA would not "maintain any pretense of academic quality" without the other 1%, right?

Hello captain obvious, no college would be able to maintain any pretense of academic quality without enrolling smart students. Are TJ students not residents of VA? What is your point?

What is the size of the freshmen class? You are not saying it's 20,000?
