UVA was built in 1819. It is completely landlocked by the town that grew up around it. So it cannot expand further unlike the huge California publics. Nevertheless, there is an entity called the UVA Foundation whose mission it is to buy up real estate when available.

WM is one of the 6 public Ivies. 1693 —way before UVA

If you are going to post like this, learn your history. UVA was one of the first public ivies - here - not W&M! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Ivy.

W&M gets added in by other comers long after the intitial list was created and published.

Both were included in the original public ivy list.

In addition, there are other decent public universities in the Commonwealth. W&M, VT, VCU. Even GMU is not too bad.

It's much more than that. Read the wiki on GMU. It's the largest R1 university in the state with 40,000 students. It's become well known for engineering, computer science, game design, economics. Our DS spent four great years there. Go and visit before you judge (and it has five campuses, one in S. Korea).

It’s too bad that UVA never developed an additional campus in Charlottesville. Michigan did that many years ago when they realized they needed more land to grow the school since there was a need.

But they did. They have the North Grounds, where Law and Graduate Business relocated and are based. They situated research in new developments. They have acquired a lot of land over time.

Also the brand new $40M data center is on North Grounds (all new). Read up on the UVA Foundation - it's their job to buy up real estate.

As an example, UVa bought the former Cavalier Inn, bulldozed it, and now is building a School of Data Science on that land.

UVA's campus (grounds) is larger than that of UT Austin, which has 2X as many students. UVA has land. That isn't it. However, if UVA was the size of UT Austin, it would 1) have a major detrimental impact on Charlottesville and town/gown relations 2) force UVA to essentially reengineer the campus to add density and 3) lower selectivity and ultimately the reputation.

I heard UVA tends to admit fewer students to keep its selectivity. Well, they need something to justify their $92000 OOS cost of attendance.

False. You are thinking of USC, a private in So California

For our high stats kid it was not. VA has excellent value in-state options.

Did your DC pick UVA over Ivy or simply choose not to apply

They chose William & Mary.

Like the size and 12:1 ratio classes taught by Professors, no TAs. Profs teach every class. Not like at ivies or uva.

That happens at UVA only in the intro science and econ courses. AMA

But you will be eligible to go the UVA-Wise route.

Ironic that in obnoxiously trying to correct PP you made an error. W&M was on the first list of public ivies.

Yeah. So have mine. So are we.

AND my kids chose not to attend UVA. Annoying as Fkkk student body. Hardcore striver syndrome. It’s like a bunch of travel sport parent and tiger Moms on crack.

One chose an Ivy and the other one W&M.

You don’t think anyone reading this actually believes you. Right?

NP. I believe them. What part don’t you believe? My husband and I are both alums, along with five other close family members. We have a history with the place, but if my DD were to get in to UVA and WM, I’d probably advise her to choose WM. Just a fit thing.

+1 UVA is a fantastic school.

But my kid prefers a smaller size, less Greek focus, etc. It’s her decision. We will see.

good idea, considering it has become impossible to get into either UVA or W&M unless hooked.

If you are a Virginian placed on the wait list for the College of Arts and Sciences at UVA, you can attend UVA Wise for one year—completing 30 hours of transferrable credit and maintaining a 3.0 GPA—and then transfer to UVA Grounds in Charlottesville to complete your degree. https://www.uvawise.edu/admissions/uva-deferred-admission-agreement#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20a%20Virginian,Charlottesville%20to%20complete%20your%20degree.

That's not what PP said. They cited the age of W&M and said it was a public ivy and not UVA. Both were on the original list. W&M's age is irrelevant. If you are going to post, post not irrelevant info and omissions.

+1 And for those that don't know, you picked the commerce school (Arts & Sciences is, by far, the largest) to cherry-pick your 91K figure. That's not good posting etiquette. Sorry your kid or loved one didn't get in but stop bashing. https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2024-0
