[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A university with a 26% acceptance rate isn't considered prestigious. [/quote]

As an academic I think UVA is a good school and a solid choice for my child. However, UVA is not a prestigious university or a research powerhouse. Therefore, it was not on my list of desirable institutions to pursue a Tier 1 tenure track job.[/quote]

Beggars can't be choosers, as any real academic will tell you. Most "academics" would be thrilled to get offers to teach at UVA. --

And your writing style makes your claim to be an academic somewhat dubious. I'm skeptical. Let me guess, you're a kid with a fetish for bashing UVA and trying to cover your tracks by pretending to be reasonable through claiming you would be happy for your hypothetical child to go to UVA.

Regardless of where you go if on a tenure track it is usually publish or perish.  I think tenure track faculty are most concerned, unfortunately, about positions where they will have what they think is a relatively heavy teaching load when they know they have to produce research and papers.
