Rhodes not Rhode’s. For many of us with kids that earned admission to UVA, Rhodes is a relatable goal (not necessarily achievable).
You and your kids have the Nobel in your crosshairs. Good luck to you - it is ambitious and commendable. You are right, for you - UVA will fall short. For us - with our less ambitious goals, it has been fine.
Good luck!

Maybe UVA needs its own forum.
Actually, uva would be atrocious academically without dozens of TJ grads it gets each year because of the in state tuition.
TJ kids are realizing uva is not worth it even with the in state tuitions. TJ grads attending uva has gone down by more than 50% in the past several years. They are choosing to attend Cornell, Michigan, CMU, Pitt, Berkeley etc. instead.

OP just can’t get over the fact that she or offspring didn’t get in. If you google it, you can see the pattern. Then when that fails, she moves on to world rankings which no one pays heed to.

Yay! One! You go UVA. You keep trying.

Last place with zero.
Funny.
UVA is not in the last place. They have one.
That “one” did not graduate from uva.
Wow. Obsess much?
