Why so much UVA jealousy?

There are many folks with no dog (or kid) in this fight who would strongly disagree with you.

We are headed for 3+ female college graduates for every 2 male college graduates. I for one welcome our new college-educated female overlords. . .

Drumpf is ready for them!

Who cares? Men are superfluous. We don't even need them to have babies anymore.

Enjoy your cats and red wine!

A lot of it is this + regional bias + so many alums concentrated in the area. Get out of Nova/Dc, nobody cares about UVA in NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA, Seattle. It still passes the “decent college” snap judgment test, but nothing more.

UVA is perfect, it's the best college ever. Fun fact: The Ivies, Duke and Vanderbilt have zero Virginia residents enrolled for the 18-19 school year - it's that good.

Try again. UVA is not a "regional school". It consistently ranks no. 2 for best public university in the USA behind Berkeley and in second place with UCLA or UCLA third. Always ahead of Michigan. Look at USN&WR and other rankings of public universities in America. https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/uva-named-no-public-university-for-th-straight-year/article_2c901320-1a43-11e3-9c21-0019bb30f31a.html

Outside of the law school, in no other major metro outside of NoVA/DC does anyone give a damn about UVA.

I don’t live in DC and I can assure you no one is jealous of UVA. Seriously. My kids are 8 and 12 so nowhere near college age. I respect my friends ‘ kids who get into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Oxford and Cambridge. Your UVA has zero clout or name recognition outside of Virginia, sorry.

PP, you misquoted the poster. Regional school and regional bias are not the same thing.
