[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly what is UVa's strengths? Other than ranking by some magazine. Specifics anyone? [/quote]

UVA public ivy I guess. People have this idea it's a better school.

Kids in engineering vie for exact same jobs and grad schools.

That said. UVA has a much nicer campus for many kids that is huge. I don't blame them. It's much more like a college town.

UMD is in a not nice part of town. Apartments and housing off campus routinely get broken into.

UMD is a beloved school by many and should not be discounted.

The biggest problems with UMD  are the out of state numbers which UVA or schools like UNC do not accept. Getting into UMD from instate is pretty hard. [b]UMD accepts at least 34%[/b] of out of state students with significantly lower gpa requirements. Pay full price good chance going.

Also, the Business School is a lImited enrollment program with an extremely high gpa requirement, and the University of ShadyGrove adds a whole extra level of annoyance. It's about 40 minutes away from main campus, some kids are required to take classes there. There is a pretty reliable bus system that ferries students back and forth.

UVa's 2017-18 enrollment numbers show 31% from out of state.   It's not that different.
