[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.

T[b]he differences in SAT scores of incoming freshmen are negligible. The differences in academic strengths are not. Michigan has across the board academic excellence.  UVA does not.  Outside of business and a few majors like English, I rarely see UVA equalling or besting Michigan in any comparably offered discipline.  [/quote][/b]

And yet the US Department of Ed disagrees based upon facts:
