[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some ways, we are comparing the most academically rigorous LAC (for better/worse)[b] with the most prestigious non-STEM public university.[/b] I can’t comment on money, and I know what I would do if I were 17, but this really comes down to personality. Just know what you are getting into with Swat- intense academics, hard work, and a highly respected brand but only within a small slice of the population that doesn’t totally overlap with the business world (whereas everyone everywhere knows and respects UVA). I don’t mean to give short shrift to W&M but UVA is a stronger brand - however a student with a smaller school preference might tilt W&M- but then why not go to Swat? Great choices, good luck [/quote]

On what basis do you make that assertion?  [/quote]

I don’t know, reputation. USNWR has UVA tied at third w Michigan behind Berkeley and UCLA. My understanding is UVA doesn’t really shine at STEM so I would infer from that it outperforms on the non-STEM front. I don’t know about UCLA but Cal, Michigan and UVA strike me as the HYP of state schools [/quote]
