[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's futile to compare these two schools. They serve different kids and different needs. UVA is a state school with a different mission and priorities than Chicago. For some UVA will be the right choice. For others Chicago will[/quote][/b] True, and for the same reason, the PP's remarks immediately above about selectivity don't apply also to state schools. They are very different beasts serving different communities so one cannot say "Wow, X is only 6% and UVA is 27% so UVA is less selective". UVA has a much different pre-screening system through the VA publiic high schools that self-selects the kids so that 94% of those admitted are in the top ten percent of their high school class and have over a 4.0. Many students are discouraged at the high school level from even applying by the VA public high school counselors, so you are comparing apples and oranges.[/quote]
