OP said top 25.  [/quote]

Shockingly UVA is number 25[/quote]

Mistakes were made.[/quote]
 :roll:

Once again, the people on this board always say "oh yeah the UVA boosters are OUT of control" and never take responsibility for their own constant taunting. UVA is ranked #25 and yet several posters have to make snide comments about that. Take responsibility for your own rabble rousing and taunting people. People in glass houses as they say.[/quote]

[b]It falls in and out of top 25.  Calling it top 25 is a bit of a joke because of that.  Stop b

eing so insecure about it.[/quote]

Sorry your kid didn't get in.  If you had bothered to check before posting you woud have learned that UVA was no 1, 2, and 3 public in the entire United States over the last 15 years.  Today it is no 3 with UCLA and Berkeley as 1 and 2 and MIchigan as 3.[/quote]

[b]UVA and University of Florida are directly adjacent in the rankings.[/b]  Stop with the nonsense.[/quote]

No they are not.  UVA is 25. Then there is a big drop to:  University of Florida, UNCCH and WAke Forest at all at 29.[/quote]

UVA is in a four way tie for #25 so it is actually somewhere in the 25-26-27-28 spot.  It is absolutely not top 25 this year haha.[/quote]

As if something like this can be measured objectively to begin with.  You can rank schools by number of enrolled students objectively.  Once you start trying to give a general ranking, subjectivity is being applied.  Even based on USNWR's methodology, the differences between UVA, UF, UNC, Wake, etc. are miniscule, probably within the margin of error of objective data points that are being applied with subjective weighting.  (Meaning a strict ordinal rank should not be applied.)

I have no affiliation with Georgie Tech, so I can use it to illustrate another point.  It is ranked down around 40 in the ranking.  Yet for its typical student, who is interested in engineering and technology, it would very likely rate higher from that student's overall perspective than UVA, UF, UNC, or Wake, all other things like cost being equal.   (These may be fine schools, but GT is stronger than any of them across the areas it focuses on.)  Subjective criteria should be based on the prospective student's perspective, and not on what some guy at USNWR asserts.     [/quote]
