[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the OP is not considering between UNC and Harvey Mudd/Davidson/Amherst/Williams/Darthmouth/Pomona etc. She's considering between UNC and UVA.

I don't put a lot into USNews rankings, but if you want to go by them: Univ. of Michigan is #7 on that list, Georgia Tech is #8, UC-Berkeley is #21, UNC is #42[b]. UVA is not on the list at all[/b]. Generally these 5 schools would be considered peers and DCUM would consider UVA to be better than all other than Berkeley. 
Some other interesting schools that are generally considered academically worse than UVA on DCUM but are higher on this list: UT-Austin at #14, UC-Davis at #34, Wisconsin at #34, Michigan State at #44, Texas A&M at #44, Delaware at #44, Rutgers at #50, Central Florida at #50, SUNY #59, Georgia at #59.

Again I don't put much worth on these rankings though. I am talking about UNC entirely from its national/international research reputation. 
But again, the average student at UVA is probably slightly more academically talented than UNC because of the in-state ratio, and also North Carolina's Republican legislature has made big funding cuts over the past decade while UVA has pretty much turned into a private-school-type fundraising and has a $10 billion endowment.

ARGH. LOOK AT THE RIGHT LIST!  UVA has been a top public university No, 2 or 3 for the last 27 years, always above Michigan and way above UNC.  Last year was an anomoly because USN&WR decided incorrectly to include Pell Grant participation, which the universities have no control over due to demographics.  USN&WR is correcting that.  So you have UVA at no. 2, 3, 4 and UNC down at 6 for public universities.  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/top-public[/quote]

Read!  The relevant list in question was referenced and was of undergraduate research programs.    https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/undergrad-research-programs[/quote]
