[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is headed to UTK in 6 weeks to study Nuclear Engineering. He was given merit that made it more affordable than VA in-state. He committed to playing rugby as well. He got off the waitlist @ UVA but decided to stick with UTK (I would've preferred UVA for the proximity but I'm not my son). UTK is one of his college counselor's favorite schools and had nothing negative to say (politics aside as he's coming from a DC private - TN politics suck). He's happy with his decision - go VOLS!!

And the acceptance rate for OOS this year was 23% - 45% in state. UTK has become increasingly more difficult to get into. For reference, we didn't look any further south than UTK and even TN is pushing my limits. But he's happy so I'm happy! And UTK has a decent rugby team and UVA does not. Nor does Tech (better than UVA).[/quote]

You picked a school ranked 109 over a school ranked 24? What? I know ranking is not everything, but UVA and Tennessee are not even in the same league. Really, really poor decision.[/quote]

But UVA doesn't even have a nuclear engineering major![/quote]
