[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those that say UVA is overrated, please list the reasons you believe this. Looking for substantive reasons. My kid is about to decide between UVA and another school.[/quote]

Frankly, nobody outside of DC and Nova really cares about it. It's just another "good state school." And you all know if your kid could get in and you could afford it, you'd send them to Vandy, Duke or GU in a heartbeat and then find ways to flex your higher rung status on UVA parents.[/quote]

Not GU.  GU pretty takes anyone from our DC private who applies with a 3.5+. It's not prestigious at all plus my kids had no interest at all in staying in DC. I get you on Duke and Vanderbilt. 
But what do they have to do with UVA?  My kid would probably also go to Yale and Harvard over UVA.  So what?  How do these negate UVA from having any prestige?   
You are making no sense. [/quote]

UVA is a safety for GU rejects. Vandy, Duke, and GU all have that same pretentious elitist faux southern vibe. Ditto UVA. UVA is a great school but it’s obviously a status flex if your kid can get into and you can afford those far more selective and expensive privates.

Yale and Harvard are so hyper selective they’re not schools anyone can really realistically aim for.[/quote]
