[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A degree from UVA is Ivy-league because UVA is one of the original Public Ivies.

Public Ivies offer the same standard of education as the Ivies, in a public school environment and at a public school cost. These schools are more than just non-Ivies — they're some of the best schools you can attend in the world today.

Just search "best public universities in USA" and you'll find UVA.[/quote]

[b]And Virginia doesn't have a "reputable" private. It does have University of Richmond. Other than that, what other privates come to mind?[/b] So, they still treat UVA like it's their prestigious private but it is not a private.[/quote]

When I was looking in the 90s, my teacher gave us a ranked list of Virginia colleges. The top tier included:

1. UVA
2. William & Mary
3. Washington & Lee

The next tier included:
4. JMU
5. Virginia Tech

And I didn’t look any farther down the list. No idea where she got this information. Obviously, Virginia Tech’s star has risen since the late 90s. But my point is that Virginia has another well-regarded private, Washington & Lee.
