[quote=Anonymous]Why do we always have to have this silly argument? Of course UVA is a prestigious college. Its undergraduate program is extremely selective in state and at an Ivy League level out of state. It ranks i 8th in the country in the number of Rhodes Scholarship winners -- tied with Chicago, ahead of Duke, Cornell, and Columbia and is the top public school by far -- and its admissions committee routinely travels jointly with Harvard and Yale to give presentations. The Wall Street Journal ranks it, Michigan, Berkeley, and New College of Florida as the only state schools in the top 50 "feeder schools" to the nation's top law, business and med schools, and UVA's own law, business and med schools are again at Ivy League levels. UVA's endowment per student is the only public school in the top 20 (again on par with Cornell) and is well ahead of Michigan. UVA certainly is not the research powerhouse that Michigan, Wisconsin, or the bigger UCs are, but it's also half their size and its emphasis has always been on its undergraduate and professional programs. The only people on this board who think that UVA isn't prestigious is people whose kids can't get in.[/quote]
