Since USN&WR decided two years ago that pell grant recipients numbers should be included, UVA was dropped below Michigan but few understand that UVA has no control over the no. of pell grant students it accepts.  Read Pell Grant in wiki if you don't understand.  UVA was no. 1, 2 (tied with Berkeley) or three, with UCLA and Berkeley in the lead for 27 years until the pell grant issue was introduced.  Now it's no. 4 for the last two years for "Top public universities" by U.S. New&World Report. The only reason that Michigan is now above it is due to the inclusion of the "new" pell grant category, a category no school can control.  Michigan has more poor residents per capita than UVA, etc.[/quote]

Michigan is above UVA because it is a better school. UVA will be out of top 30 in few years.[/quote]

Ah, the usual DCUM love for Michigan and hate for UVA.  Never gets old.  UVA moved UP in this year's ranking, so your trend prediction took a hit.  And do you want your kid to be another number in the great sea of 31,000 undergrads at Michigan.  No thanks.  But you're a UMD grad, so what else would we expect.  You wish you could have gone to Michigan or UVA.  [/quote]
