It seems like it boils down to if you get Harvard, Yale,  or Princeton, you go there over UVA.  If you get lower tier ivies such as Penn, Cornell, you go to UVA because of cost difference.  [/quote]

The only people who talk like this are UVA parents. Nobody with a brain turns down Northwestern, Penn or Cornell for UVA.[/quote]

I've met two UVA grads who were accepted at Ivy League schools, but their parents (who presumably could have afforded it based on other factors) forced them to go to UVA for the lower tuition. They are still very bitter about it decades later.

There are some parents who look at the price tag, think that translates into UVA being A-mazing, and won't consider other options. It's like a cult. There are at least a few posters on DCUM who think this way.

That's so sad that they felt that way.  It's the kids' personalities and drive that are the main factors in their sucess...blaming their parents who foot the tuition for them at a state school is beyond pathetic.[/quote]
