[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a Virginian so daughter would pay out of tuition at UVA and our family doesn’t qualify for any financial aid. :(

She really wants to do pre-med. which school would you recommend? I’d like to spend less on undergrad to save more for medical school but also want to make sure my daughter gets good undergrad experience/research opportunities.

Didn’t realize college selection process was this stressful!

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! [/quote]
These schools are not really comparable when Virginia is oos. They are similar cost and Georgetown is far more prestigious. To the extent UVA has prestige, it is as an in-state school. [b]The oos yield at UVA is terrible for this reason: oos students vote with their feet. [/b]Don’t make the mistake that you are choosing “equal” options when what makes them equal (Virginia in-state tuition) does not apply to you.[/quote]

Again, you are wrong and can't prove that. The SCHEV you cited to on another thread was a yield chart for ALL public schools in VA.[/quote]
NP. To be clear, [i]for UVA specifically (not all publics)[/i], in-state yield is 55%, out-of-state yield is 16%, and overall yield is 30%, fall 2023 per https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/B8_Report_new.ASP

The PP you were responding to specified "oos yield," which is out of state yield (16.3% for UVA)[/quote]
