[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a Virginian so daughter would pay out of tuition at UVA and our family doesn’t qualify for any financial aid. :(

She really wants to do pre-med. which school would you recommend? I’d like to spend less on undergrad to save more for medical school but also want to make sure my daughter gets good undergrad experience/research opportunities.

Didn’t realize college selection process was this stressful!

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience! [/quote]
These schools are not really comparable when Virginia is oos. They are similar cost and [b]Georgetown is far more prestigious[/b]. To the extent UVA has prestige, it is as an in-state school. The oos yield at UVA is terrible for this reason: oos students vote with their feet. Don’t make the mistake that you are choosing “equal” options when what makes them equal (Virginia in-state tuition) does not apply to you.[/quote]

Nay nay. Georgetown and UVA are both ranked 24 by USNWR. Georgetown is 94k a year and UVA is $40k instate. OOS is $80, which still means $60k more than UVA.  [/quote]
I get that subtlety is lost on you, as is math.
Don’t quote fake numbers. Check the source: https://sfs.virginia.edu/financial-aid-new-applicants/financial-aid-basics/estimated-undergraduate-cost-attendance-2025-2026
Sometimes Georgetown tuition and fees are 5k a year more; sometimes they are less than UVA (Engineering, Business etc.). 
As for the potential 20k — not 60k — difference over 4 years, many parents do not want to pay private school tuition for a public. Period.[/quote]
