What is the most overrated school popular among the dc metro area crowd?

I think the same person is repeatedly posting UVA. Obviously has an axe to grind. But, keep it up because we need to discourage applications. My daughter desperately wants to go.

She's not alone. Good luck to her.

UVA I would counter is "accurately" rated. Georgetown I agree is deeply overrated.

On this forum, UVA is overrated. That doesn't mean it isn't a good school.

I think there is a subtle expectation from UVA students that opportunities will come their way due to the reputation of the school. That doesn't appear to be true to a significant extent as the ROI and value add analysis shows UVA grads perform along the lines of other public schools in the area, like Virginia Tech and UMD, and not along the lines of schools like Duke in these metrics. UVA grads might be better off if they felt they have more to prove. Perhaps because of this expectation, a lower percentage of UVA students are entering tough but cutting-edge majors compared to top schools. It appears UVA is aware of this and is working to create programs like data science, but there is a still a marked difference in this regard between UVA and most schools to which UVA would want to compare itself.
