[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prestige and selectivity are related, but not the same.  Prestige is earned over a longer period of time.  Selectivity is more of a short term and perhaps transient.  If there is a demographic change driving increased selectivity for an institution, for instance, it doesn't necessarily drive an increase in prestige.  An institution that remains highly selective over time will likely increase in prestige.  [/quote]

For example, Smith and Vassar are regarded as being more prestigious than UVA, despite being less selective. At least that’s the case here in NY.[/quote]

UVA has considerable swag in NYC.  Certainly more than Smith at least.  Get real. [/quote]

“Considerable swag in NYC”? DP but I assure you that is not the case. UVA is viewed as another public school, a step below Berkeley and Michigan here.[/quote]

I’m from NYC and I can assure you UVA is viewed as in the same tier as Berkeley and Michigan.[/quote]

Buddy I'm also from NYC and live here currently. UVA doesn't have "considerable swag" - quite the opposite. It's seen as a little southern, perhaps a great fit for a white middle class pearl-wearing Sally. Not exactly what I'd call "swag."

Berkeley and Michigan (and even UCLA) are seen as more prestigious than UVA.[/quote]

Oh you’re definitely still living in the early 2000’s, forgot that old people use this site.[/quote]

Lol. Whatever makes you sleep better at night. Funny because I'm 100% positive I'm younger than you.[/quote]
