[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Virginia is clearly the higher ranked undergraduate university - I think we can all agree on that.
And it takes mostly Virginia students unlike Michigan which is mostly out of state students[/b].[/quote]

+1.  Statistically, UVA is ahead of Michigan.  It's now become very difficult to get into.  I agree with those above who think the UVA-bashing may be disgruntled students or parents.  Many families close to me did not get their UVA legacy admitted this year.  These are triple-legacy families who have extensively supported UVA and, of course, their kids have the 4.44+ GPA and 35-36 ACT and necessary ECs.  This is a very upsetting issue for NoVA families, especially legacies, trying to get in from NoVA.[/quote]

Not a NoVA family. My kid isn’t applying to UVA any time soon. I still think UVA is overrated.[/quote]

Where are you applying?  Could your DC get in if he/she did apply?  Be honest.[/quote]

My kid isn’t applying this year. I go on this board to see what the discussions are like around various colleges. My assertions come from being married to someone who works in higher ed and from my own experiences at both public and prep schools.[/quote]
