[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago UVa released a strategic plan with the goal of becoming the top public university in the USA and one of the top universities in the world by 2030. In the past years the school has been slipping in rankings and has fallen to the T5 public, and ranked somewhere between 24-27. Very recently the university opened the School of Data Science, which could bump up CS programs.

Do you think UVa can turn around the decline or will it keep falling lower and lower? The grad law school and business school are very highly ranked but the undergrad is not. [/quote]

I think it'll keep falling lower and lower.  Before you know it, no one will want to attend UVA for ANYTHING.  I don't know why they are bothering to build the School of Data Science; should have spent the money demolishing some of the existing buildings since pretty soon no one will want to go there.  And don't get me started on Charlottesville, what an awful place to attend college.  That is why my DCs decided to say no thanks to their UVA offers of admission (honestly, I am not sure why they even bothered to apply - I refused to pay the application fees) and went to Liberty instead.[/quote]

This is hilarious. Charlottesville…what a dump.  [/quote]

UVa campus is gorgeous and Charlottesville is charming. My kid is thrilled to be attending UVa this fall. Very popular choice at kid’s very large high school. I’m sorry your kid did not get in. [/quote]

Pretty sure both PP’s before you were joking. (My UVA education taught me discern humor.) Congrats to your kid. [b]But please don’t with the “sorry your kid didn’t get in” nonsense. Not a good look. [/q[/b]uote]

[b]Why do these people keep saying it? It's completely ridiculous and is red meat for the hater side. As a parent of a rising 4th year... please stop, you're an embarrassment to the entire UVA culture and community... and as PP said it's grounds not campus, your kid and you should know this already, especially if you're already throwing embarrassing shade like "sorry you're kid didn't get in." Welcome to Hoo Nation but get your act together.[/quote][/b]

Hear hear, and on another note future parent, it's UVA not UVa, that is clearly stated by the University and with a clear reasoning. If you're going to run your mouth about "kid's not getting in" then get your own house in order. Embarrassing, and I hope more UVA parents/grads keep calling you out for acting like a classless jerk.
