Depends on the state school. UVA is the best school in the South, so it probably is.

Which south are we talking about? The one with Duke, Vandy, Rice and Emory?

Vandy, Rice, and Emory all trended down this year, UVA trended up and isn't stopping anytime soon. Duke is just a basketball school.

UVA trended up to the #5 public.

It’s obvious that a troll is deliberately trying to make UVA look bad.

It's all about momentum. You want your kid to end up at a school that will continue paying off 10, 20 years down the road. UVA is only going up, and based on potential it's the best school in the South. I'm not saying it's the best school everywhere, just the South, which I think is more than reasonable. The extremely loyal alumni base helps kids get top jobs and opportunities anywhere in the country, not just the South. It's law and business schools are also by far the best in the South. Not sure what there is to discuss here.

I agree about momentum - and with that, expect Rutgers to move past UVA over the next ten years. Big move this year for RU. Something special is happening in New Brunswick, and people are noticing - so much more potential than UVA based on proximity to high level employment (location), progressive thought, and education level/ base.

You didn’t disappoint, UVA booster!

Maybe you need to braoden your social circle?

I get it, but in reality, at Michigan, virtually every single program/department within the University is top 10, or even top 5 in the country. UVa cannot come close to saying the same thing.

The UVA boosters in the forum really need to take a step back.

+1
The arrogance is pretty astounding, isn’t it? Zero self-awareness.

Eh, I’m not surprised. Who wants to pay $66k+/yr OOS @U of M when you can pay $35k+/yr for in-state UVA?

On the west coast, Michigan is considered around the level of Berkeley and UCLA. UVA is not, though I can’t speak for the south. No one would think of it as equivalent to a lower tier Ivy here.

Wash. U. is fine. It’s in the game. But where the heck is Tufts?

Tufts is #40 which is higher than I expected.

Tufts is probably being punished because it skews wealthy. Not enough Pell grant and first gen admits.

So, people, if you think it's hard to get into a highly rejective school, it will be even harder now with schools gaming the system and admit more Pell grants and First gen students.

How do I get my kid pell grants and make them first gen? Can I just not identify as their parent?
