[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look UVA bashers, say what you want about the school but it is a hell of a lot cheaper than comparable privates and you know it.  You’re just jealous as hell because you can’t get your kids in. [/quote]

PP is an imbecile.  It isn’t a question of being admitted.....the privates listed are more selective than UVA.  The only people that are jealous are the silly UVA boosters that can’t afford a private and talk themselves into believing that their state uni is comparable.[/quote]

Outside the top ~15-16 schools on USNWR, there is ZERO advantage in prestige in attending those schools over UVA.  Even if you only care about what other people think, you gain nothing choosing those schools over UVA.  You are flushing your money down a toilet if you choose those schools over UVA in-state IF you are doing so because you think others will view your degree in higher regard.  That is especially true if the student plans on living/working anywhere in the mid-Atlantic region, which is most likely the case.

I say this from the perspective of someone who hires in the DC area.[/quote]
