[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they want engineering, Purdue out of state is about the same as instate UVA. [/quote]

Yes. Purdue is very affordable, even out of state. Purdue’s engineering program is the 9th best in the country. U[b]VA is 37th. P[/b]urdue would be the easy choice. [/quote]

UVA is 25[/quote]

[b]Not in engineering. It's 42nd, as has already been linked here.

UVA is 25th in the nation across the board.  And ranks third in the nation for national public universities.  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/uva-6968/overall-rankings#:~:text=your%20college%20needs%3F-,University%20of%20Virginia%20Rankings,about%20how%20we%20rank%20schools..[/quote]

I guess that’s great to brag to your friends. My kid goes to the 25th best school in the country. For engineers hiring engineers, your kid is not getting the job over the other 41 schools that are ranked higher. Engineering ranking matters to people who hire engineers and to other engineers in your field. [/quote]

DP. Engineering rankings are largely a function of research output. They have nothing to do with the quality of engineers out of college. Statistically UVA engineering graduates will likely have a higher SAT score than of a Purdue student. [b]For undergraduates, overall rankings matter much more[/b].[/quote]

LOL. Rankings are *really* important, except when a certain discipline doesn’t rank as high.
