[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is prestigious and highly selective and is a top 25 national university.  It is on par with the nation’s top private schools.  [/quote]

[b]Good but no.[/quote][/b][b]

you are wrong ir old. UVA is now top 25 of all universities and colleges (5,000 of them in the US); no 4 for best public university, and no 8 in the producer of Rhodes Scholars, eclipsed only by the elite privates like HYP.

The PP said it is on par with nation's top privates, and those are schools like HYP.  If you look at almost any metric, including the one you cited - producer of Rhodes Scholars - an UVA does not rate with those schools.   Harvard has 375 Rhodes Scholarships winners to 55 for UVA and UVA has 2.7X as many undergraduate students as Harvard, meaning over time any given Harvard undergraduate has been 18X as likely to win a Rhodes as a UVA undergraduate.  If you look at rankings on quality of research,  income of graduates, likelihood of graduates to be admitted to top graduate programs like Yale Law, etc. you will see the same thing.  So no, not on par with nation's top privates.[/quote]
