It will lose some top name faculty

It will lose some top OOS applicants who feel like they caved

It will lose more top OOS applicants who just are avoiding these schools  seem to be on Trumps hit list. They have 4 years in college and there are too many great colleges. Nobody wants this to be the headline of their school newspaper for the entire time.

It may get a little easier to get into in state [/quote]

Add: W&M and VT are going to see a surge in applications next year. [/quote]

I think so, too. Plus, those 2 schools have been investing a lot in infrastructure like new dorms and academic buildings. I’ve seen a lot of great students this year pick W&M or VT. I’m not sure if that is due to UVA’s rep for denying or waitlisting so many qualified NoVA applicants, or what. The political spotlight on UVA right now may further close the prestige gap between VA’s top schools. [/quote]

Not happening. [/quote]

VT already passed William & Mary and this could finally make it equal with UVa[/quote]

That was a one time USNWR methodology change and William & Mary remains much more selective.  Unless USNWR makes another methodology change that significantly benefits a school with VT's profile, it won't pass UVA.  As it is, the USNWR methodology seems to be getting schools in trouble.  Schools are doubling over backwards to increase Pell and first gen enrollment.  Pell and first gen populations are higher in some groups than others, and that can be problematic.[/quote]

Yet VT is still ranked better. [/quote]

Not compared to UVA.[/quote]

WSJ ranks VT ahead of UVA.[/quote]

Not just UVA. WSJ ranks VT better than the majority of Ivy's and Ivy+. And UCLA. And Michigan. [/quote]

As always, it's the criteria considered which matter; the rankings themselves only reflect the criteria used.  If those happen to align with your values, and with the values of grad schools and potential employers which may interest you, then reference to such rankings can be helpful.  Otherwise, you're just seeing how different criteria affect the rankings.  [/quote]

WSJ is a solid ranking [/quote]
