[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look UVA bashers, say what you want about the school but it is a hell of a lot cheaper than comparable privates and you know it.  You’re just jealous as hell because you can’t get your kids in. [/quote]

Stop it, this is embarrassing for you.

I have 5 members in my family who went to UVA (including myself), and you all are acting like it’s Harvard. News flash, it’s a state school. A good one, but don’t get delusions of grandeur.

No one said it is, least of all me.  But it is certainly recognized by academics as being on par with the schools that the OP has listed, at least at the undergraduate level, and it has very high admission standards.  It’s absolutely the case that UVA bashers are jealous that they can’t get their kids in.[/quote]

PP here: I’m a UVA alum, and so is my husband. We have 2 in college, one turned down UVA to attend a private.

College decisions are not made by just looking at rankings. There are myriad reasons to pick a school. The jealousy card you play is embarrassing because you won’t listen to the fact that people choose other schools for good reasons. Why would you immediately think it’s about jealousy?

Again, just stop.[/quote]
