College and University Discussion
If you think GMU and UVA are "peer institutions" because of their yield, you are too stupid to be in this conversation. |
3.4 GPA community college students? ✅ 25k+ students? ✅ Public? ✅ 16% yield rates? ✅ Semi urban campuses? ✅ Seem like peers to me |
| You’re ignoring cost with this question. |
That’s not what you said, though. And it’s also not true. Many top private colleges incentivize in state students to enroll through scholarships and grants offered only to in state students. |
I appreciate your candid admission that you are stupid. |
That's absolutely what I said. Which "top privates"? Not ivies. Crummy public schools can't be compared to top privates, sorry. |
Of course there is no actual recourse when you are faced with facts and truth. |
The Ivy League is a sports league. |
| The yield rate at UVA is only as high as it is because of ED. Before that, its yield was even lower. |
Your interpretation of "facts and truth" is stupid. You are incapable of making valid comparisons. You're just embarrassing yourself. |
This can be said about many selective schools that offer ED. Try again. |
Your understanding of the word "interpretation" is shaky at best. No interpreting, extrapolating, deducing, on my part. I showed the truth and you had no substantive response. Sad. 3.4 GPA community college students? ✅ 25k+ students? ✅ Public? ✅ 16% yield rates? ✅ Semi urban campuses? ✅ Seem like peers to me |
| UVA was the bottom of the list for my in state kids. One of mine is there but it wasn’t even in their top 5. My other two (twins) have no desire to go there but applied because OOS acceptances to their OOS competitive schools is hard this year. |
My kids also wanted to explore as well , but both went to UVA. Now one works in New York City and the other in London. Glad they were smart enough to realize that college was just the start and went somewhere that was less expensive and would open up lots of opportunities. |
If those are the only metrics then sure. But we all know they are not. |
