haha one of my cousins went to Babson and is forever impressing upon me what a selective and prestigious school it is. That's why I included it.

All the Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Northwestern, maybe Duke.
Colleges like Rice, Emory, Babson, random no names that cost 60k/year are not considered prestigious by the outside world, nor are the UC schools with the possible exception of UC Berkeley.
I went to LSE for undergrad and grad school.

In India:
MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Cal, Wharton (the wharton brand completely overshadows "penn"), Cornell, Northwestern is surprisingly pretty well known, JHU.

Yes, The Shanghai Ranking table and the US News Global University Ranking table pretty much show each school's prestige internationally. Virginia is not one of them.

UC Berkeley was mentioned several times.

Foreigners do not find West Point or Annapolis prestigious and they can't even apply anyway.

So...not prestigious?
UVA is ranked 147th in the world. Does that answer the question?
UMD is more respected than Uva internationally because it has more Nobel / academy award/ Emmy / Pulitzer / fields medal alumni... More national championships and more world changing alumni than Uva. It makes sense. If UMD joins with the professional school in Baltimore it will be top 5 research institution in the US. My personal belief is that UMD purposely separates the professional schools unlike any other university in order to camouflage the huge research budget that the Feds pump in. Along with Hopkins it would look unfair to the rest of the country.
