[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crickets. Where are the UVA boosters?  Congrats to Michigan pushing UVA out. [/quote]

Sorry your kid didn’t get in.[/quote]

Didn’t apply. Not a VA resident. He got into one of the top 10 though. [/quote]

Why the chip on the shoulder then?[/quote]

[b]NP.  I think the prior poster was primarily trying to get a rise out of the poster who frequently posts some combination of "27 years, 1, 2, or 3.  Always ahead of Michigan.  USNWR is Gold standard.  No other ranking matters".  As another poster remarked on a different thread, this has been done "ad nauseam".  Go ahead and search the forum for "27" (and probably "26" last year).[/b]

UVA is a great school, but that poster's obsession with USNWR ranking as some kind of definitive measure without regard to major/fit was grating.

--Not a UofM grad[/quote]'

But that poster was correct if you are looking at the correct USN&WR subject-mmatter rankings  Public universities can't be compared to private universities and private SLACS.  They have completely different missions.  A more accurate ranking is - in the same USN&WR - the rankings of PUBLIC Universities, which is what is cited for the rankings of UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan and UVA, traditionally.  And, yes, UVA is usually 2 or 3 there.   That's in the same report you are looking at.  This year UVA is at 4th in the nation.  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/top-public[/quote]
