Honey, i know you are pissed off that UVA has more Rhodes students (and is a small school!) than any other public in the U.S. but attacking like this isn't attractive. sorry your kid didn't get in. from wiki: The university's alumni, faculty, and researchers have included several U.S. presidents, heads of state, Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, Rhodes Scholars, Marshall Scholars, and Fulbright Scholars. Some 30 different governors of U.S. states have attended the university, as have numerous U.S. senators and members of Congress. UVA has produced 55 Rhodes Scholars, eighth most in the United States, while its alumni have founded companies such as Reddit, CNET, and Space Adventures.

No one cares during the application process about Nobel Prize laureates. No one. They care about the quality of education, small classrooms, Size, student-to-professor ratio, ROI, etc. Nobel doesn't touch any of those issues.

Name a UVA graduate that has become President or won a Nobel. And by the way, West Point (public) has more Rhodes Scholars and is considerably smaller than UVA. (And why does PP believe the Rhodes Scholarship is the single barometer by which to measure universities? It is an award restricted to males only for over 75 years!)

U[b]VA lacks any 'Fields Medal' as well. No Nobels and no Fields will pretty much insure 2nd rate reputation globally.

The PP is desperate. Fields is for worldwide mathemeticians under age 40. Only one American has ever won it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_Medal]

OMG. You are ridiculous. I had to look it up. For COMPUTER SCIENCE! Well, guess what? That's not a stronghold of UVA historically, but now being developed under the new dean of student, Jim Ryan. And how many got the Turing Award (30 people) and where - duh, are the scientists that get it? high tech schools like Stanford and MIT who have huge computering departments. Seriously, if you are going to bash UVA check your stats before.

You might as well have said UVA didn't have any 4H awards.

Ok. You want facts, here are the facts:

Total number of alumni/faculty recipients of some schools [excluded MIT (26), Princeton (16), Stanford (29, Harvard (14)]

1. Berkeley has 25
2. NYU has 8
3. Michigan has 6
4. Univ. of Toronto has 6
5. UCLA has 5
6. Cornell has 4
7. Chicago has 4
8. Duke has 3
9. Univ. of Utah has 3
10. Yale has 3

For Fields Medal:

Total number of alumni/faculty Fields Medal recipients of some schools [excluded MIT (8), Princeton (16), Stanford (8, Harvard (18)]

1. Berkeley has 14
2. Chicago has 10
3. Stony Brook Univ. has 5
4. Univ. of Toronto has 6
5. MYU has 5
8 Yale has 5

Embarrassing UVA has big FAT 0 (ZERO) in all academic fields.

You should go back and learn some more English grammar from UVA or the community college you attended since not only are you ignorant about Nobel Prize, Fields Medal and Turing Award, you lack basic English writing skills. For example, I don't think 'Computering' is a word in English. It is 'Computer Science' Department.

Nope. France. Give it up. This argument is specious

You are wrong. https://research.virginia.edu/phillip-sharp-2021/nobel-laureate-lecture-series-dr-phillip-sharp-visits-uva And no parent or child looks at Nobels on staff when selecting a school. Do you think Jr is going to be able to do research with Einstein? Parents, do, however, look at how the school does for Rhodes, Watsons, Marshalls, etc.

You linked to a story about a Nobel Laureate who did not attend UVA (Union and Illinois are his alma maters and he did post-doctoral work at Caltech) or teach or research at UVA. He came to UVA to give a lecture.

Faulkner never studied at UVA for a single day.

No Nobel awards, no Fields Medals and no Turing awards. How can UVA call itself a decent academic institution?

UVA is a better than decent academic institution. It just doesn't compete in circles where some think it does. But these overall accolades are immaterial to most people. You only attend one part of a university at a time. Someone considering UVA Law won't care if there are no Nobels, Fields, or Turings. It will be a top 10 U.S. Law school despite that

Half to a third of the law schools will be gone within 10 years.

The point was Nobel/Turning/Fields is irrelevant for law, and law is a component of many universities.
