[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to go off of who you know or car stickers. There is data on this. % of undergrads ending up in the DMV:

Ross: 3.8%
McIntire: 31.85%

Ford: not listed in the destinations above 10% (though grad is higher)
Batten: 75%

And so on.

So there are UM grads in DC and this doesn't account for LSA or the other colleges, nor is it weighted. Case closed. [/quote]

No one on this thread ever said there were zero UM grads in DC. A few said they hadn’t met any UM grads to highlight their main point, which is that the alumni network of UVA is much bigger here than UM, and that does indeed seem to be true. The percentages of UM grads landing here is small (it also doesn’t show up on the LSA list which goes as low as 6.4%, so it is below that). Weighting it doesn’t meaningfully change the result as the gap is so large.

I didn’t attend either of these schools. But it’s weird to try to imply that UM has the same alumni network here as UVA.

Such a weird flex for someone who has no dog in this fight, or....

p.s. My takeaway is that UVA is indeed a regional school, which I didn't realize prior. Thanks for clarifying!
