[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a hiring manager, I did not find UVA particularly impressive. Maybe it's a big deal in Virginia.

I'm an alum of UF and would not be "impressed" by the school, yet I would know from personal experience that the education is high quality.

I'd find Michigan impressive. [/quote]

Kind of weird - not too much really separates Michigan from UVA.  UVA, in fact, has higher average SAT scores (from most sources I found) if that matters to you.

The differences in SAT scores of incoming freshmen are negligible. [b]The differences in academic strengths are not. Michigan has across the board academic excellence.  UVA does no[/b]t.  Outside of business and a few majors like English, I rarely see UVA equalling or besting Michigan in any comparably offered discipline.  [/quote]

HAHA.  If that were true U of Michigan would have many more Rhodes Scholars (especially due to its size!) than UVA.  UVA has 56. Michigan has 32.

Michigan doesn’t have a dedicated office to Rhodes Scholarships like UVA.  Instead, they have multiple graduates who have become Nobel Prize Winners.  You might not be aware of those because UVA has produced exactly ZERO Nobel Prize winning graduates since its inception.  century.  Michigan is traditionally near the top for public schools with Fulbright Scholarships.  The school concentrates more on those because it provides many more opportunities for students than just maybe one a year for the Rhodes from a school like UVA. [/quote]
