[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's baffling that Michigan and UNC are ranked so high compared to UVA. In Virginia, Michigan is regarded as a safety school and UVA is much better. UVA has a much lower acceptance rate and the SAT scores are much higher, this ranking is a joke.[/quote]

In Virginia (VA resident for 26 years), Michigan is regarded as a better school in general than UVA and UVA has a higher acceptance rate than Michigan. UVA should be ranked around 30.[/quote]

Nope. It's much harder for a VA kid from NoVA to get into UVA than UMich.  Half our neighborhood is attending UMich currently and the parents would have much rather have saved a ton of $$$ if they could have gotten into UVA and have said as much.[/quote]

And, my friends from AA say it's the EXACT SAME there re getting into UMich. Your point....[/quote]

[b]Overall, there is a bigger gap in gpa/test scores between in state and out of state students in Michigan than Virginia.  You can look it up if you like.[/quote][/b]

That is quite true. It's much easier to get in in-state to Michigan.  They need top students.  Which is why it has 50% OOS and no (?) other state flagship does.  Michigan needs those high stat kids from OOS and international[/quote]

If only Michigan would shrink its student population in half to be marginally more selective than UVA. The funny thing is even without ED, Michigan’s yield rate is still higher than UVA’s.  Acceptance rates haven’t been used at USNWR for a long time.  Even they know they are far from the most important criterion when evaluating the quality of a school. [/quote]
