[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA boosters can never acknowledge that it is not = to all elite schools in any metric.... [/quote]

Any metric where UVA is favored is a great metric.  Any metric where it is not favored is fake news.[/quote]

This is simply not true. By most metrics we acknowledge that the top 15 or so schools are better.  But below that they clearly are not.  [b]And when you factor in the cost it’s a hard sell to decline UVA in state over any school not in the top five or so.[/b] [/quote]

In USNews, Stanford is 7 and Duke is 8.  I don't think your logic would make sense at all there.  Average salary from U.S. Gov't Scorecard 10 years after graduation is $94K Stanford, $84K Duke, and $61K for UVA.  [/quote]

This doesn’t mean a lot. For one thing, it could mean that graduates of those other schools are forced to take higher paying jobs that they don’t necessarily want because they have too many student loans.  If I’ve seen that once, I’ve seen it 1000 times.

It’s also not the case for my own daughter, who 10 years out from UVA easily was eclipsing six figures.[/quote]
