[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UW is the big state U that is popular for being popular among DC and Md kids.

Importantly, it’s the one state U (where they actually have a prayer) other than Michigan that will not embarrass their liberal mom and dad when they tell their bethesda neighbors and coworkers that Ian/Sophie is at a state school.  Most such schools are either too Southern and therefore embarrassing, [Georgia, Florida, Texas] or too “eh” and therefore not prestigious enough for law firm colleagues (Illinois?? Ohio State ….er, are you an alum, Dave? Penn State? Joe Paterno! Minnesota? Didn’t they want to look at WISCONSIN? oh you know Lisa’s kid went to Wisconsin and apparently loved it ….). It’s not equally highly ranked UMD.

UW hits the sweet spot for this liberal demographic. You can get in, unlike UNC, UCLA, UT.  Also, lakes!  [/quote]

PP. may I suggest you get some help for the major self-esteem issues that you seem to be dragging around?[/quote]

^ PP.  I'm not wrong. It's popular for being popular.  Related, kids/parents in CC, NWDC, Bethesda tell themselves it's a better school than the big state flagships they'd never consider and that are ranked a little higher and a little lower.  [/quote]
