[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As usual, there's a lot of UVA bashing going on. What is UVA missing that stops it from being considered "elite"?

Massive endowment. Excellent placements across all disciplines, CS included. McIntire sends scores of students to top IB, PE, and consulting firms. UVA is a huge feeder to top grad schools, and its own law school is ranked 4th and its business school ranked 10th.

The acceptance rate is low without gaming the system, even with ED and accepting more in-state students, which many other top public universities don't. UVA's acceptance rate is equal to Michigan's, yet Michigan has far more out-of-state students. If UVA dropped ED and took 50% OOS, things would look much different. UVA has some of the highest average test scores, higher than other public universities considered better. [/quote]

If you consider UVA elite, you have to consider quite a few other schools elite.  That waters down "elite".  [/quote]

This is starting to sound like the brackets in a large travel soccer tournament.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Every bracket is:  Elite, Premier Elite, Champions....Elite of the Elites.  All to make those paying think their kid is THE BEST![/quote]
