[quote=Anonymous][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]

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

More like xlnt and inexpensive.  The delta between UVA and an ivy can now be as much as $55,000 a year in after tax dollars (so you have to make $90K to pay for one year).  For us the delta was $45K in after-tax dollars.  We would have to make 85K a year to pay that.  85K a year x 5 years (75% of our nation's graduates are now taking 5-6 years to graduate ) = $410K or more.  x two or three kids = Savings of $1.2 million.  That delta went into the bank to pay for Ivy grad school.[/quote]

No the connections one cultivates at te Ivies and access to more prestigious internships, firms, etc far out paces the initial cost difference vs UVA. It’s just not the same. It’s like saying an investment bank in Ft Lauderdale will have the same access as an investment bank on Wall Street. You are just not plugged into the same network and that is te difference.
