[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to USNews National Ranking, the ranking of the national universities are following:

UVA 
WM
VT
GMU
JMU
VCU

It’s difficult to compare these schools with LACs and regional schools, but I would say:

1. WL
2. UVA
3. WM

4. Richmond
5. VT

6. GMU
7. JMU
8. CNU
9. VCU
10. UMW

1-3 are a top tier, 4-5 are very strong, 6-10 are solid.

I'd flip #1 and #2 on your list, but pretty much spot on.[/quote]

I guess the Virginia ranking has been changed quite a bit. About 30 years ago:

UVa and WM were really equal. Now UVa has a slight edge.

VT and JMU were roughly equal. Now it seems like VT is preferred even for non STEM majors.

GMU was a commtuter school with very easy admission. Now its ranking is similar to that of JMU if not bettee.

CNU was almost completly unknown in Northern Virginia. Now it attracts many students from this area.

VMI used to be a respected institute. Now it seems like people don’t care about (or even hate) that school.
