[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re politics - UVA is unique in that it offers a PPL program (politics, policy & Law) which my son took. The smaller department means small seminars and closer relations with faculty = better LOR. The career center and faculty got him an internship each summer, the last being with a Senator. [b]UVA has Larry Summer’s Center for Politics where my son worked.[/b] It has clubs to fit any political persuasion. If interested in debate, UVA has the longest running debate society in America. All of this plus very good LSAT and GPA got him into a T 4 law school if that’s of any future interest.

I hear what you are saying about costs but is it wise? U Mich OOS is $84,382 and UVA is $40m a year. Thats a delta of $44k+ a year x 4 = $180k. Much more if you don’t have $330k saved and will pay that in after-tax dollars. If you bank the difference and let it compound you can later pay for grad school or starter home.

Good luck. Two nice choices. Go to admitted students’ day at both.[/quote]
