[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell happened to UVA?

These rankings are rigged.[/quote]

All rankings are "rigged" in the sense that each uses different criteria.

UVa does not have a high enough % of non-US undergraduate students. This particular ranking, the "THE World Universities" list, factors that variable in.

Recall that the Commonwealth insists that VT, UVa, and W&M have VA residents for roughly 2/3 of total undergrads. That pushes all 3 schools down the list.

The same factor boosts many UK universities, because UK universities lose money on their UK undergrads and use numerous non-UK students (who pay much higher fees) to make their budgets balance. [/quote]

Good try UVA supporter in explaining why UVA is ranked so low. If non VA residents is the reason why UVA is ranked low, then explain why UT Austin with its mandate for 90% of the school being in state. UT Austin much higher in rankings.[/quote]

NP- You seem oddly intent on proving UVA is an inferior institution.  OK, UVA is ranked embarrassingly low and is an inferior institution. Not sure what point you are trying to make but rest assured these rankings do not detract from the quality of education and outcomes and the subsequent high demand for a spot there. UVA will continue to be just fine in spite of your obvious ire towards it. Have a pleasant day.[/quote]

UVA sucks for STEM/CS majors. Plenty who graduate and can't find jobs.[/quote]

Maybe you just sucked as a student and don't interview well? Can't fix stupid and lazy.[/quote]
