It was always more of a T20 school which is fine. It just had figured out how to game the old USNWR rankings.

Any ranking that has public schools Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, UNC, UVA etc. With such low student selection can't be taken seriously lol. Washu below all these schools? You've got to be kidding me. Michigan especially takes the cake. Average SAT score 1300 acceptance rate 40%. Even UVA has1500 average SAT and 9% acceptance rate

And yet, Michigan is widely considered the stronger school. The perception of UVA within the DMV is a bit out of touch with reality.

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.

Oh brother, and who EVER talks about RUTGERS! bitter post

+1. And a silly post

Uh no. And I work in the field of college admissions but do continued to entertain us with your poorly formulated analysis . Oh wait … there is no analysis in what you wrote above …..

The new ranking is an accurate assessment of lay perceived prestige

None of that is correct.

It is the post grad programs that matter most. U Mich has extremely strong post grad programs in a wide array of fields and the admit rates for many are in single digits.

That doesn't make up for the 40% undergrad acceptance rate

They aren’t considered in the undergraduate rankings,

I saw that - good for JMU! It has served my family very well.

GNU is at 105. Isn't that a big rise too?

I assume you meant GMu. Our DD went there (yes live in dorms - its stopped being a commuter school decades ago for you old farts -0 go read Wikipedia on GMU before you post) Great experience for her. paid internshipos every summer. Hired before graduation for higj tech position

The ‘22 stats say about 5,500 out of 39,000 live on campus. That 5.5k number is bigger than many schools but do you know a lot more students are living close by off campus or are the rest of those 33k+ commuters?

UVA fanatics are suffering from Acute Michigan Delusion Syndrome. Their case might even be more debilitating than the Buckeyes’ because it seems to be accompanied by a common East Coast malady known as How-Can-We-Suck-Compared-to-Anything-in-the-Midwest?Disorder.

May not be an easy admit but you will have one of the top PUBLIC universities in the country surpassing UVA on the way and tuition will be relatively inexpensive compared to privates or OOS tuitions.

The problem is that the Florida governor is destroying the state universities. The state universities there are now roadkill.
