[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you aware the OOS students are paying $20,000 + more each year? [/quote]

More like [i]40k[/i] more. One of the two most expensive oos schools in the country. Want more Virginians? Pay for it. Vote for it. Or quit whining. oos students are funding your school...[/quote]

It won’t make a difference. UVA should be sufficiently large enough to handle virtually all of the very top students in the state.   It isn’t and therein lies the problem. [/quote]
Virginia can try to be more like Michigan but that won’t be a solution; Virginia will end up more like Wisconsin if it goes that route — a fine school, but not a school oos students would be willing to pay private school tuition for. [/quote]

I guess then that UVA doesn’t quite have the “cachet” that some think it does.  Michigan, which has the highest tuition for OOS students in the country, has no problem filling its classrooms. [/quote]
It certainly won’t have the cachet if it lets in 15k more kids![/quote]

In other words it’s no Cal, UCLA, or Michigan.  Those three schools all have cachet and at least attempt to serve the top students in their respective states.  UVA seems to want to keep many of its top students out of the state flagship.

Well, I note in your statement that you cited TWO California schools, Berkeley and UCLA.  Students in Virginia can attend more than just UVA.[/quote]

Students in CA can also attend 4-5 more UC schools that are superior to almost anything else that Virginia has to offer.  [/quote]

Except they are not.  California universities have been elevated in rankings by high Pell Grant numbers and in ROI studies by being in a state where the cost of living is 45% higher than the national average (resulting in higher salaries, which aren't that high when you factor cost of living).[/quote]

DP.  I can assure you that 99% of Americans using rankings to help choose colleges could not care less about the Pell Grant issue that you continue to natter on about.  NO.ONE.CARES.[/quote]

Your privilege is showing. [/quote]

Whatever.  No one actually parses how the rankings are calculated or why they may have changed from year to year.  Sorry.[/quote]
