[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pecking order thing is ridiculous. All the state schools are very different in size, culture, focus, etc. I wouldn't suggest anyone apply to any of them blind, and that includes UVA. No more than the Ivies or Big 10 are all equivalent![/quote]

I completely agree.  It's so nice that the VA kids have such a varied and solid selection of schools to select from.  I'm from OOS and where I came from, there was one large flagship state school and then a few other schools that didn't have much to offer.  [/quote]

+1  And I like that there are a range of schools with higher/lower selectivity in different types.  If you want a smaller school you have W&M but also UMN, CNU and Longwood.  Want the big rah-rah football school - UVA, Virginia Tech, JMU all provide that to different degrees.  Want an urban campus or a great art school, VCU.  GMU and VT are both big research universities, do you want a college town or close to a big city? And, there are the public HBCUs

My state had a lot of public universities but they were pretty universally big schools and it didn't feel like they were that different from each other outside of the specific locations.[/quote]
