1) 40% smaller; more personalized attention
2) More opportunities in DC
3) Georgetown is a recognizable "brand" worldwide; UVA not as well known, particularly outside the region.

(3) is kinda funny. Not only does UVA get 50,000 application a year, but 35k of those are from OOS. Also, on another recent thread, someone posted Exeter’s and Andover’s college matriculations for the past three years. After the Ivies, UVA was one of the most common.

I am from NY and went to school in Boston. I didn’t know about UVA until I moved to DC a decade ago. I knew one girl from Yale who went to UVA undergrad. I didn’t know it from any other state school like Rutgers or UF. I worked in NYC for a decade and never met anyone from UVA.

I would pick Georgetown over UVA if money was not a factor.

Simply because of your experience? Even in law school at Harvard I knew UVA was the big leagues. My law firms took only the very very too schools and UVA was one of then. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get in? Georgetown is a shell of what it once was.

For a Harvard-trained lawyer, this is shockingly thin on analysis. UVA law school is not equivalent to UVA undergrad; the law school is recognized as top 10, the undergraduate institution is not. It is entirely feasible that top law firms interview at UVA Law, while Wall Street firms do not interview at UVA undergrad.

I am the pp and also went to Harvard. I worked in finance and banking. I met tons of people from Penn, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, etc. but never anyone from UVA. I’m not saying they didn’t exist in NYC but I didn’t come across any.

I hate to break it to you but UVA Law has been T6-T8 for a very long long time.

The PP said they had never heard of UVA at all. I first learned of it in the law school experience. How difficult is that to understand? And yes my firm hired from HYS UCLA and UZvA. Why is that surprising? Do you have any idea what stats you need to get into undergrad there today?

The question was Georgetown or UVA. My kids are still young but I would say Georgetown. That is all.

If your children are young are you aware that Georgetown is now over $80,000 a year. Instate tuition becomes very important the closer college looms.

We get it. You think highly of UVA. Many people do. You don’t have to get all bent out of shape because someone wasn’t familiar with UVA before moving to VA. I no longer work on Wall St. I live in McLean in a sea of UVA alumni.

Well then why are you posting some absurd first person account about being surrounded by Ivy types but never heard of anyone from UVA in NYC? Be responsible I. Posting. At a minimum google UVA Wall Street before posting.

You don’t have to feel so offended that some random person on the internet who worked in finance in nyc was unfamiliar with UVA before moving here.

We can easily pay $80k and plan to pay that for college and grad school. My kids can make their own decisions on where they want to go to college but I would still pick Georgetown over UVA as a person who is from out of state who wasn’t familiar with UVA before moving here.

I have 3 kids. Maybe one of them will end up at UVA.

I hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as T6 or T8 in law school rankings. It’s T14.

I would pick UVA. Not only was Georgetown exposed for their contribution to the admissions scandal involvement but they are additionally being sued for favoring the rich and being involved in a price fixing cartel. My question is why would you want to send them your money or children?
