[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]UVA is overrated[/b]. UCB and Michigan are better schools and they want the TJ kids. Obviously it costs more for in-state students. But the experience is worth it.

If UVA is serious about improving its standing, it needs to improve its STEM and engineering programs. It needs recruit more from TJ not less.[/quote]

Don't you ever get tired of posting this stuff?  You are wrong about science and stem.   Even if you were, the Commonwealth has VTech.  And it has W&M for a SLAC experiene.  You really want great engineering and cybersecurity in particular? GMU.  We are blessed with riches in Virginia but you have to pick the university that is right for what you want to do.  UVA is a very small school compared to UCB and Michigan.  There are only so many slots open to in-state Virginians.  For what it's worth my kid did engineering at UVA is now doing electrical engineering grad work at Princeton.

Please read what James RYan has been doing in science and technology and engineering at UVA before you post again.  I'm sorry your kid didn't get in but your uneducated posts aren't helping those on this site you need information. Google UVA engineering.  https://news.virginia.edu/content/engineering-executive-dean-named-vice-provost-research-george-washington.[/quote]

You sound very parochial when you write stuff like "your kid didn't get in". It's not that hard to get in from Virginia. I have a DC attending UVA right now and another one accepted but attending a top Ivy. I am not sure what you were trying to say by posting a link about a UVA engineering faculty getting another job at GWU. UVA is not strong in STEM and it doesn't help more UVA rejects go to Michigan and UCB. I have no idea what Ryan is doing but it will take a long time before UVA's STEM programs are respected.[/quote]
