[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is a very solid institution. Their endowment rivals many privates. However, many serious academics think UVA is overrated (UIUC, UW-Seattle, UMD, etc are better). That said, it probably provides a superior undergrad education. [/quote] Correct. There are different ways to evaluate institutions. They can be evaluated for research and publishing, and that is typically where UVA is not as strong. The international rankings often focus on this (which probably makes sense because it would be difficult to compare across geographies otherwise). This also tends to be STEM-heavy because that is where a lot of the research dollars are. Washington, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, etc., tend to be higher ranked, often by some margin. But you don't send your 18 year old kid off to publish in a scientific journal, so it is better to evaluate strictly on how good the undergraduate education and opportunities are. [/quote]
