It's ranked the 11th best public school for undergraduate education. [/quote]

? Are we looking at the same list?  I see William and Mary at #7; I don't see UVA anywhere.[/quote]
You need to keep scrolling.[b] [/quote][/b]

how far?[/quote]
to #17...[/quote]

Got it. Thank-you.  Well, that's really not in the top 5 like someone above claimed now is it?

The overall USNews undergraduate ranking does have UVA top 5 for public schools, I believe.  (The top of the rankings are dominated by private schools.) I think it is currently 3.  The teaching quality ranking, rightly or wrongly, is a secondary rating.  (One could argue that most of the [b]USNews ranking criteria may really have nothing to do with quality of undergraduate education[/b].)[/quote]

? Pay attention.  The discussion above showed that UVA is #17 among national universities for undergraduate teaching.  
As for "teaching quality" being a "secondary" rating, I don't know your reason for sending you kid to college but right now I'm only interested in the quality of undergraduate education -- not the reputation of the business school or Law School.[/quote]

The point stands.  In the primary USNews ranking of national undergraduate universities, UVA is 3rd behind Berkeley and UCLA.  The quality of teaching ranking is separate and does not feed the overall rating.  [/quote]
