[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, judging from the other schools most UVA applicants appl to these are the peer schools: 1. College of William and Mary 2. Cornell University 3. Duke University 4. UNC - Chapel Hill 5. Georgetown [/quote] These are perhaps the ones that have application overlaps, but I'd say Duke in particular is not a peer in that it is quite a bit more selective and is going to be chosen over UVA a significant percentage of the time. (Parchment shows 90% Duke to 10% UVA.). UVA is going to be chosen over W&M a lot of the time, but because W&M is quite a bit smaller, its stats are very similar. Georgetown has higher stats overall and Parchment shows 70% choose it over UVA so there are certainly some that would claim it to be above and not peer. I think of it as being in the same ballpark. UNC and UVA compete primarily for OOS students. UNC is very selective OOS due to small number of slots. I'd say these schools are closer to peers. [/quote]
