[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA's focus has always been and continues to be the social sciences and humanities.  Tech is Virginia's STEM-focused school.  [/quote]

False. DD just graduated in aerospace engineering at UVA. Your statement is simplistic. Please go and learn more about the STEM courses offered at UVA.  W&M started as no 1 (2 in the nation) the state offering a classical  liberal education popular at the time. Later, Thomas Jefferson started UVA for the benefit of the Commonwealth to train the Commonwealth’s leaders of tomorrow, to educate future world citizens and to to fulfill the needs of the Commonwealth (hence nursing and teaching programs). It was in this environment that the sciences were taught and always taught well. Tech came along much later as a POLY technical school (not a tech school - Poly ion it’s name) to train the farmers, vets, poultry engineers, architects, nutritionists, clothing design, small business development, etc.  And all the other polytechnic skills.  It’s engineering school is very good but if you have the stats and can afford it, Purdue and GT (OOS) will land you a better job in the field. VT engineering is good as applied engineering. The UVA engineers tends to becomes managers on projects and tend to be paid more than the VT engineers.[/quote]
