[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody really cares about school rankings in the real world. From what I’ve seen, they have little impact once you're actually working. I'm a federal employee with a master’s degree from the University of Michigan, and one of my colleagues graduated from Carnegie Mellon. We both report to a manager who went to Northern Virginia Community College before transferring to James Madison University. His supervisor? She graduated from the University of Mary Washington. Before I joined the federal government, I worked at Apple—my manager there had a degree from Capella University, and his boss was a college dropout from UMBC. So really, does it matter if UVA is ranked a few spots below Emory?[/quote]
It shouldn't matter, but it does to uva boosters who couldn't leave Emory alone  few days ago. [/quote]

LOL I'm the OP of the thread you're referring to and Emory and UVA going from tied to one right after the other in the rankings means nothing.  Any VA family would be nuts to pick Emory over UVA for this reasons.  They remain peers. [/quote]

If you are a VA resident and also have money to burn, go ahead, send your kid to Emory. Leave a spot for a VA kid that really wants UVA, and cannot afford OOS tuition. [/quote]
