[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when I graduated high school( in the eighties), these were the schools people talked about. They weren’t Harvard, but I’d put them analogous to Notre Dame or Vanderbilt today.[b] What happened? [/b]Is it all because they say “public” or “land-grant”, kind of how the ultra pretentious rip on Cornell.[/quote] I'm confused as to your point, OP. UVA has become especially difficult to get into. Are you trying to say it is "less" than it was "back in the day".? Today, it takes 4.52 weighted GPA, a 1510 and/or a 34 ACT to get in. That's the 75th percentile, which you need if applying unhooked from no. virginia.[/quote] And Michigan is far more difficult as well. Out of state, don’t count on 1500+ SATs and perfect GPAs to do it. It’s as much of a crapshoot as the T-10.[/quote] +1 For OOS applicants, it is a single digit admit.[/quote]
