[quote=Anonymous]I have a UVA student and an Ivy student. Main differences: -Class size, especially freshman year. For example, UVA runs 2 college bio sections in the fall and they're 450 kids each. The Ivy bio sections were 40 kids. As such the UVA courses are graded on a curve. They can't have 900 kids getting an A cause they can't realistically get 900 kids into medical school (and many of those 900 simply aren't medical school material). So they curve the class to a manageable number of As. Ivy has no curve but not everyone gets As either. -Student scene. Very smart kids at both. More geeks and grinders at the Ivy. UVA has these but also a large percentage of pretty average kids. Obviously they did well in high school but they are noticeably less scholarly and super bright as a cohort. But again, you can find real superstars at UVA. [/quote]
