[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is just trying to stay competitive with UVA and W&M.   Its America price equals prestige in the mind of many, especially the DCUM crowd.

Plus great food is one of the things that makes them stand out and JMU is knocking at the door to become VA’s third best public school.  [/quote]

Tech would be exactly on par with JMU if it weren’t for their engineering school. [/quote]

VTs business school is world's better than JMU too.[/quote]

JMU showed up in the top 20 among public schools in the WSJ list of highest incomes for graduates working in accounting and management consulting.  VT only for management consulting.[/quote]

VT also didn't show up in the top 20 for graduate salaries in technology, engineering, data science, or software development in the WSJ lists.[/quote]

Yet WSJ ranked VA Tech #1 overall of all Virginia schools. [/quote]

Let me see, pay levels of actual graduates vs a list put together to try to compete with USNWR.[/quote]

UNSWR ranks VT ahead of W&M[/quote]

And for some stuff it is. 
1. Engineering and related fields like CS (as W&M has no engineering school) 
2. Other criteria that USNWR has decided are imporyant simply because they correlate with being a very large school.
