Why not? UVA tracks with UCLA and Berkeley now. Depending on the ratings it is second or third in the state school line-up.

UVa wants to compete with the privates that have traditionally been the next-best choice by ivy rejects (i.e. Vandy, Rice, Emory, GU, WUSTL, ND etc).

Huh? bad list. UVA swept past those a number of years ago.

Lol...you’re funny. Outside of Virginia, UVA has a fairly mediocre brand.....nowhere near a UCLA or Michigan

You need to keep up. UVA no. 1 public university in America by Business Insider, ahead of Michigan, UCLA and Berkeley. http://www.businessinsider.com/best-public-colleges-in-the-united-states-2016-8#4-university-of-california-at-los-angeles-11

Who cares about business insider...no one thinks of UVA as the # 1 public. that is by far Berkeley, with a brand that uva could only dream to match. UCLA, UMich are also better regarded than UVA. Plus these are all publics, UVA is not on par with top 20 privates, get a grip please.

Put down the vodka. It’s too early. NOVA is not a “bastion” of anything.

+1

And there is some serious old money in Richmond. NOVA is great, but let's not act like the rest of Virginia is void of talented students.

But they are not preppy. Virginians are not preppy.

Um, ok. According to who, you?

VCU and GMU benefited when their basketball teams did well in the tournament. Could it happen to UVA?

It could, and will, but the school is already immensely popular. But I guess applications could soon top 50,000. The basketball team is just flat out superior.

We’ll see about that. They will probably lose AGAIN in the second round.

Highly unlikely.

Look at recent history, homer. The tournament has not been kind to the Hoos or the Cavaliers or whatever they call themselves.

If you don't know the school mascot, you shouldn't be posting. And they won again last night.

If you don’t know that Virginia was playing in the ACC tournament, and not the NCAA tournament, last night, then you shouldn’t be posting. They do not have an impressive recent history in the NCAA tournament.

3.5 unweighted and 1250+ on the SAT and you’re in. Any spots leftover are available for out of state applications.

You're an idiot.
UVA was on TV last night, ACC and won against Clemson
UVA was on this evening and won against North Carolina. https://247sports.com/college/virginia/ContentGallery/Virginia-Cavaliers-Basketball-No-1-UVA-wins-2018-ACC-Tournament-Championship-over-North-Carolina-Tar-Heels-Twitter-celebrates-116094829
