[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The short answer is most of the rankings are driven by graduate school programs. My kid is leaning to UVA over W&M because she thinks it's more prestigious. I've told her W&M is probably better for undergraduate teaching, but that doesn't seem to register. At the end of the day, she'll be fine either way so I"m not worked up about it. It's her decision. She has other valid reasons for choosing UVA over W&M. But ALL of the national university rankings are driven by their graduate schools, not by the quality of undergraduate teaching.[/quote] Most high school students especially in NoVa see UVA as more prestigious than W&M. [/quote] I've always thought of them as similar in prestige, but with UVA being more broadly appealing and W&M being more of a niche school. [/quote]
