[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing.

Hopkins and Georgetown are ranked ahead of UVA in US news.  UMD is ranked ahead of UVA in every difficult major, every world university ranking, dominates in research spending and has more national championships, Nobel/Emmy/academy award/Pulitzer/fields medal alumni than all Virginia schools put together. USNA is so much more important than UVA that it’s pitiful. 
The North side of the river is dominant in higher education.[/quote]

Georgetown is ranked 23.  UVA is ranked 26.  UMD is ranked 58.  UVA's rank is the same as Carnegie Mellon's.  UMD's is the same as Syracuse's.  UVA"s reputation ranking by US News is 18th, tied with Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon and Rice and [i]ahead[/i] of Georgetown, UCLA and Wash U.  UMD is 43rd in this ranking, tied with UC-Irvine and Case Western.

Says it all.

[b]UMD is ranked in the 50's for world reputation rankings (both USNews and ARWU) while UVA is >100 for both (ranked "150-200" by ARWU).[/b][/quote]

Based entirely on research output.  Has nothing to do with undergraduate reputation and little to do with US reputation.[/quote]
1. Research output is entirely why schools like MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Stanford et. al. and routinely considered among the best. [b]To argue research has nothing to do with undergraduate reputation is utterly ignorant.

2. The USNews global rankings is based on world reputation, [i]not[/i] research output. Meaning they surveyed academics from across the world. Which is much better than what the USNews Reputation Ranking does, surveying American high school counselors (lmao)

The University of Washington has higher research output than MIT, Harvard, Caltech, or Stanford.  Does your theory hold up there?  [/quote]
