That can't be true. UVA is a public ivy, I'm told.


UVA is a public ivy because OOS cost of attendance (82,366 to 83,856 for Engg/Applied Science) is on par with Ivy COA



I can’t even with the ridiculous UVA poster.


really? why??

GT but prep your kid. If he's used to be the smartest kid in the room there's going to be an awakening. GT promotes its retention rates but several of the programs in the engineering/cs spaces have very high washout rates.

back to OP, you cannot be serious about debating these two for CS. Anyone who wants to go into CS should know at least that GT is a top 10 program and far superior to UVA in this area.

? So the cost is the only reason why UVA is considered a public ivy?


Yes, I believe so. For the same reason, UMich is also called a public Ivy.

Again, I went to UVA for CS. There are many bright kids in the program, but the faculty is blah, and the program is lacking. GA Tech is more highly regarded.


Most people teaching it don’t work in the field and have book knowledge but not real life experience. Same with other majors too.

Is there any other reason that you know of?

Yes, pretty much for anything other than Engineering or CS, UVA is a better choice.



Pretty much anything STEM, GT is the better choice.

UVA is not in the same league as GT for CS/ Engineering.
