[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prestige and selectivity are related, but not the same.  Prestige is earned over a longer period of time.  Selectivity is more of a short term and perhaps transient.  If there is a demographic change driving increased selectivity for an institution, for instance, it doesn't necessarily drive an increase in prestige.  An institution that remains highly selective over time will likely increase in prestige.  [/quote]

For example, Smith and Vassar are regarded as being more prestigious than UVA, despite being less selective. At least that’s the case here in NY.[/quote]

[b]UVA has considerable swag in NYC[/b].  Certainly more than Smith at least.  Get real. [/quote]

No it doesn't. Not at all, unless you're talking about a minuscule sub-set of NY residents who hail from Virginia.  :wink: [/quote]

UVA is a top school buddy[/quote]

And so are about 50 other schools in the country.[/quote]

Yes exactly [/quote]
