For 19:31, top page of 3 explains why they are at the bottom.
For 15:46, longwood and Radford have better metrics, which is why they are a tier above.

S tier-UVA, W&M
A tier-VT, GMU, JMU
B tier-CNU, VCU, UMW, VMI
C tier-Longwood, Radford, ODU, UVA Wise
D tier-Virginia state, Norfolk state

You're either consciously or unconsciously racist.

Cope

Seems like you're the one having trouble here. People are going to call out racist crap like this ALL of the time now. YOU better cope.

Wrong. Normal people find your shrill social policing more obnoxious than ever. UVA being a top school is 'racist'? Time to take your meds sweetie

I'm sorry you're too ignorant to follow along on why it was racist.

If you won't make any attempt to understand and change then you're going to have a very tough life.

It's getting a little late. I think it's time for your ambien.

I’m sorry you just don’t get it. Reread again tomorrow.

Alright you have to be a troll, or you’re unironically one of those liberals who finds racism in everything which pisses me off because you give real liberals like myself a bad rap.

OP could have shared ranking by some metric (which reflect systemic racism but aren’t OP’s opinion), but by choosing arbitrary groupings she’s given us insight into her thinking.

And why have an “S” on top of A-D?

Ya’ll are going to have a tough life if you REFUSE to acknowledge that maybe, possibly you have some implicit bias. Take a moment to step back from this meaningless list and self-reflect. Or not - stay ignorant and out-of-touch. Your call.

Still nonsense. You really cannot make a coherent argument.

As someone put earlier, I know it’s because of a lack of funding, and many kids who go there had families that were impacted by systemic racism in the past that still affects the present because of lack of opportunity, generational wealth, etc..

But your arbitrary groupings aren’t objective. That’s the whole point. Did each grouping have the same increment of median SAT scores? Or unweighted GPA? Why S plus A-D?

Objective would have been a ranking based on some metric. Still would reflect underlying system racism but wouldn’t be your preconceived notions of prestige.

Actually if you look it up, they basically were ranked by increments of the SAT. Also, I purposely left out explanations so people could discuss

I say this as an Ivy double grad whose kid is trying to decide between Ivies, UVA and W&M.

Rankings give you an average, with long (sometimes very long) tails on either end.

Duh.
