[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Simply because of your experience? Even in law school at Harvard I knew UVA was the big leagues. My law firms took only the very very too schools and UVA was one of then. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get in? Georgetown is a shell of what it once was.[/quote]

For a Harvard-trained lawyer, this is shockingly thin on analysis.  UVA law school is not equivalent to UVA undergrad; the law school is recognized as top 10, the undergraduate  institution is not.  It is entirely feasible that top law firms interview at UVA Law, while Wall Street firms do not interview at UVA undergrad.[/quote]

The you are not on Wall Streey. Please google Darden grads Wall Street and come back and aplogize.[/quote]

We get it. You think highly of UVA. Many people do. You don’t have to get all bent out of shape because someone wasn’t familiar with UVA before moving to VA. I no longer work on Wall St. I live in McLean in a sea of UVA alumni. [/quote]

Well then why are you posting some absurd first person account about being surrounded  by Ivy types but never heard of anyone from UVA in NYC? Be responsible I. Posting. At a minimum google UVA Wall Street before posting.[/quote]

Y[b]ou don’t have to feel so offended [/b]that some random person on the internet who worked in finance in nyc was unfamiliar with UVA before moving here.

We can easily pay $80k and plan to pay that for college and grad school. My kids can make their own decisions on where they want to go to college but I would still pick Georgetown over UVA as a person who is from out of state who wasn’t familiar with UVA before moving here.

I have 3 kids. Maybe one of them will end up at UVA. [/quote]

I'm not offended at all.  I like people to use correct facts.  If someone can google something before saying "well I have never seen a UVA person on Wall Street" then do so!  Check your facts before littering the pages with first person observations that mean absolutely zero to the reader.[/quote]
