[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to one, and my spouse went to the other. Based on our experiences, I would say UVA felt more exclusive (smaller student body, lower acceptance rate) and UT was more like any other state school. I say this because both schools have a large percentage of students from in state, and VA, especially NoVA, is a lot more focused on education and academics than Texas as a state.

The flip side is, UVA is much more homogenous than UT. It's harder to find your people if you're not white, conventionally attractive, and from an UMC background.

If OP is from VA, I would absolutely go with UVA. UT is pretty aggressively Texas, which can be jarring for out-of-staters.[/quote]

B[b]ut UT lacks the perception that the in-state kids are not as smart as the out of state kids that plagues UVA.  [/quote][/b]

You must be very very old  This is what it takes to get into UVA today   https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp.  75th percentile of entering students last fall (not accepted students which is higher) had a 1510, a 35 ACT and a 4.52 GPA.  Median was 1460, a 34 ACT and a 4.39.  Every the bottom 25th percentile had a 32 ACT and a 4.23[/quote]
