[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA alum who went from out of state here.  Great school with excellent job prospects if you do well and know the kind of track you want to move towards after graduation. It’s the kids who have a rough semester or two in terms of grades or have a lack of focus or partying too much that suffer. It’s not as forgiving if you’re middle of your class as might be the case at a Harvard or the like. I was in the Comm School (ie, McIntire School of Commerce) and anyone in the top 10-20% of the class did quite well and had opportunities every bit as prestigious as at the Ivies. Others not so much. I’d note that the grading in E school was much more stringent and often created a comparative disadvantage for kids graduating there due to grade inflation at the other schools. Then again, going into engineering makes much less of a difference where you go in general with the exception of places like MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Michigan, CMU 
etc. [/quote][/quote]
