[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wisconsin and UVA are peer institutions. Fighting over which one is better is stupid.[/quote]

Lol no, UVA is much more selective[/quote]

UVA may be more selective, but I don't think employers or graduate schools are going to distinguish between the graduates for the most part.  The exception might be for UVA McIntire.[/quote]

And therein lies the difference.  You will noted as probably being smarter and more accomplished for being admitted to and graduating from a place like MIT.  That distinction will not usually be made for these two schools.[/quote]

And in my view I see UVA students as smarter than Wisconsin students. Prestige is relative.[/quote]

There will be many, many Wisconsin students that are at the same level.[/quote]

[b]More like a handful but whatever.[/b] Wisconsin is just a tier below top publics, no getting around it.

Handful?  Of those incoming enrolled students that submitted the SAT, 57% of UVA first years have composite SAT scores in the 1400-1600 range vs 43% at Wisconsin.  If you consider Wisconsin has an incoming class of about 7,300 vs. 3,771, there are certainly far more than a handful in the same range.

Such a disingenuous use of statistics, but I’d expect nothing less from a Wisconsin booster. [/quote]

Resorting to the ad hominem attack because you have nothing else?[/quote]
