[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's baffling that Michigan and UNC are ranked so high compared to UVA. In Virginia, [b]Michigan is regarded as a safety school [/b]and UVA is much better. UVA has a much lower acceptance rate and the SAT scores are much higher, this ranking is a joke.[/quote]

UVA is a public ivy and Michigan is a safety for public ivy.[/quote]

Only in Virginia would people say this nonsense.[/quote]

NP here.  There is mno such thing as a "public ivy", and if you use that phrase, it makes you seem uneducated/ignorant/uninformed.  [/quote] I don’t particularly care for or agree with the term, but it is a real thing. “The term was first coined in 1985 by Yale University admissions officer Richard Moll, who published Public Ivies: A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities. That initial list included eight universities and nine runners-up.[1] In 2001, college guide authors Howard Greene and Matthew Greene, released their own book, The Public Ivies: The Great State Colleges and Universities,[3] which included 30 schools.[2]”.[/quote]
