[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your kid picking college based on mail volume and swag? If so, should pick somewhere else. It is not coming from UVA. [/quote]

So much for loving the school that loves you back? It's not just mail. Having students and faculty reach out from other schools has been so helpful to confirm fit.[/quote]

If you want this kind of thing, then you [i]aren't[/i] a good fit at UVA or any medium to large state school. The kid of a friend was making noise about choosing Florida over in-state UVA because Florida "loved her more" and my friend was about to lose his mind. Not just because of the money or ranking or reputation, but because the swag-love is a transparent and manipulative marketing gesture and in no way indicative of the college experience at UF. He couldn't believe his kid was falling for it. These schools are not an intimate small liberal arts campus where you dine with your professor after class.

Also, this is my taxpayer money! Good for UVA for not playing stupid games.[/quote]

I think you missed the most important part here -- older students and faculty from other similarly ranked schools reaching out. This seems so key, and it's happening for the other honors colleges. Echols - nada.[/quote]

are they really similarly ranked though? "public ivy" is not an actual thing. [/quote]
