I'm from Georgia and went to UGA. I think UVA is still seen as a good bit more prestigious in my opinion. The kids who get into Virginia from here are very impressive.
UGA has gained a lot of prestige because of many reasons: the business school, law school, honors college, vet school, the new medical school in Athens and the vast amount of scientific research. I was in the art school, which is also highly ranked currently.

NP - Not a UVA booster but it is obvious that UVA has the better national reputation. I say this as someone who went to school in Georgia and now lives in NYC.

Maybe 10 years ago. Now there isn’t much of a difference in reputation. The UGA brand could be even bigger nationally due to football success.
UGA’s reputation is not equal to UVA’s. Stop it already.
Please. UVA moms need to give it up already. I'm in no way affiliated with UGA and have no connection but UVA is not the prize you think it is. Get out of your bubble. A trip to New Haven or Cambridge might serve you well.

There are multiple posters on this thread saying there isn’t much difference in academic reputation. They’re both top flagships. Move on.

I think there isn't a significant difference academically, especially if you are OOS. The real difference in environment. UVA and Charlottesville are much smaller than UGA and Athens. Some kids prefer the smaller school and town and others want the quintessential college town experience.

There are only 3 or 4 I would say break that rule.
You really think only 3-4?
Wouldn't UVA be in that group?
Berkley, UCLA and Michigan
I'll let UVA and UNC duke it out for the 4th spot. Ha! Duke! I'm funny.

This is tricky. UVA is ranked higher on USNWR and is more "coveted" in the DC area for those who want to remain in the Mid-Atlantic. It's a good school and a good price for VA kids. UGA has more national name recognition and a better alumni network in the south. It is also a well-respected school and can often cost about the same as VA schools if your kid gets the scholarship that covers half the difference between in and out of state. The ranking alone isn't enough reason to choose one over the other.
UGA is more nationally recognized than UVA in what??? Football, I guess, but not academically.
UGA OOS is just as hard as UVA in state. And yes, the football is far superior at UGA.

UGA is better known nationally and UVA is well known in the DC area and VA,,
I feel like you try this in every thread that mentions UVA. It's a school with more applications from OOS than in.
OP, you have to let your kid visit and decide which one feels like the better school for them.
THIS!
UGA gets more applications OOS than in state too. That doesn’t make UVA unique.
