[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sophomore is really into crypto, complex algorithms, etc. he spends lots of time researching and tracking these things and I think he would enjoy a college where he can dig into this more with like-minded professors and students. He is a good student and will likely test well but I am looking for ideas of schools to look at for him outside the Wharton/ MIT/Stanford type places that are a lottery for anyone. We are i[b]n VA i[/b]f that matters but willing to look anywhere. [/quote]

[b]FWIW, the Wall STreet Journal named UVA top public undergrad for finance last year.[/b][/quote]

WSJ reported salary premium for graduates working in finance and not an actual ranking, but I still get your point.  There are other publics that are quite close.  Keep in mind that there are many private schools that do better than any public in finance salaries.  Only OP can factor cost.
