UVA or W&M or VT for Computer science

[Anonymous]

Apply to all three and see who accepts. Then visit to see what campus feels best. All three are top schools.

So how are you judging UVA’s stem programs? They have an entire engineering school with tons of very sharp students. Pretty sure it’s not sub par. Most that I have spoken to that has a choice between Tech or UVA considers them roughly equal, maybe a slight nod to tech in engineering but certainly not a no brainer of a decision if is accepted to both.

So you are offended because you have a child at UVA in a STEM major (more than engineering in case you didn't know). Just look at the rankings, quality of faculty and research being conducted...weak.

I don’t have a kid there nor on engineering, just looking for a source.

Don't be lazy and do your own research.

My child's best friend applied to VT for computer science and didn't get in. So they went out of state and plan on trying to transfer in next year.

VT is a wonderful school, and not just for STEM.

I don’t care enough to do the research, I was hoping you’d have a source. You seem to spout this off a lot so just looking for a source for the OP.

and as others have posted:

UVa is terrible in STEM.

VT recruiting for STEM is really good.

How about you offer your sources?

USNWR has VT and UVA CS programs at 29.

How bout you look up what's already been said. Quality of professors, research being conducted and peer rankings. Look, I get it you don't seem too bright but pull up the ole Google machine and look up those topics. The whole "site your source" comeback is such a bore and quite lazy. Take those topics and look it up yourself sport.
