T20 Universities list predictions

Stop obsessing about acceptance rates. It may stroke your ego that your kid got into a single digit acceptance rate school, but it doesn't matter.

Mich has over 32K students, UVA 17k and I know so many Ivy kids that were rejected from UVA. Lots of U Mich admits at our HS.

When UVA becomes a top 200 school in world rankings, then you can brag about acceptance rates.

UVA got my kid (and quite a few of her friends into Oxford). It’s the 8th greatest producer of Rhodes Scholars in the US and the no 1 public producer. Clearly it is doing something right

This, Umich is not prestigious. I know students rejected from GWU that go to Michigan.

Perhaps UVA should spend less resources on a getting one or two students a prestigious award in some years and more on STEM.

I think you need some new material. No complaints here.

No one believes those schools are truly top 10, however.

Many outside of dcum bubble do.

Literally no one outside the DCUM bubble believes that Berkeley or Michigan are top 10. Literally no one. Not even the people who attend those schools.

USNews does for Berkeley:

It matters a lot.

In fact, the combination of acceptance rate + student stats + yield rate provides the most accurate and true standing of colleges.
For a bonus, throw in a retention rate.

Students reference the rankings as one of the factors, then each student calculates the true overall value of the schools.

Nothing beats the free market of supply and demand which would determine the actual standing of colleges in reality.

Show me on the doll where UVA hurt you. What's your hang up with the school? Something tells me you don't know much about it other than looking at rankings and the anecdotal crap you hear about the perceptions of the student body and that they don't have good STEM programs. If you don't like it don't apply but denying that it's not a great University and bashing the "STEM" programs there is simply ludicrous and only done by people with a major hang up or who are simply weird individuals.

In addition, UVA was founded by a notoriously abusive slave owner.

I guess that's your hang up then. Stanford was founded by a notorious land thief that slaughtered Native Americans. Look up Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown etc. Educate yourself.

But if the demand is based on false assumptions that rely at least partially on rankings, then poor decisions will abound.
