[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wisconsin and UVA are peer institutions. Fighting over which one is better is stupid.[/quote]

Not when it comes to admissions.  [/quote]

WI is half as selective (but also twice as big). VA has more resources per student but WI had more resources overall. In my former academic field I came across interesting papers from WI faculty more often than VA. Quantity is it's own quality. It's true, otherwise you'd be visiting selective LACs over UVA. I'd say it's a wash and UVA boosters ought to be ashamed of themselves for trying to treat down another good state school.[/quote]

Way to contradict yourself in the same sentence.  You say that WI is less selective because it’s twice as big, then you say you came across more interesting papers from UW than UVA - which might also be expected when the faculty is also twice as big.  Duh.

By the way, Michigan is also much bigger than UVA but equally selective.  So are Berkeley and UCLA.  So you can be both.
