[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a previous poster noted, UVA routinely goes on recruiting tours with Harvard and Yale.  How many other state schools are invited to do that?[/quote]

[b]That is good, but others may be and we don't really know about i[/b]t.  [/quote]

Here you go. http://www.hpuwy.com/.  UVA routinely tours with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc.  It is known as a Public Ivy.[/quote]

[b]Public Ivy.....lol, you are such a loser.[/quote][/b]

[b]You realize that "public ivy" is just a made up term, right?  And you realize that the Ivy League is just an athletic league, right?  And you realize that you sound insanely insecure about UVA, right? [/quote][/b]

Nope. Public Ivy is a real term used by college counselors.  It can be a way to get a great education at a fraction of what other families are paying.  http://brandcollegeconsulting.com/what-are-the-public-ivies/[/quote]

[b]Yes people have already said in state Uva is cheap. This is why it is so popular[/b].[/quote]

Cheap and good also. Like, say, Cal or Michigan.  Texas I guess, also.  Pretty steep drop off after that.[/quote]

It’s not as good as an Ivy[b].[/b] In fact the drop off from the Ives to the schools you list is huge. This is why you compare UVA to an Ivy or Public Ivy. In the real world no one is saying UVA is the same as an Ivy. It’s not. You could get straights A’s at UVA and an Ivy student with gentleman “B” will be selected over the UVA grad every day![/quote]
