[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]

I graduated from UT-McCombs business school. UT is NOT "aggressively Texas." I doubt the validity of your claim of having attended. UT is the last liberal bastion in Texas. I'm more conservative but didn't mind the left-leaning population. I try to be open-minded. Your post is rubbish. Both are quality institutions. Your experience at UT will be similar to those of other high-caliber schools on the East Coast. The size of the school does have its drawbacks though. Choose the school where you think you will perform best.[/quote]
