DC attends JHU and says the premed "boost" is overrated, terribly competitive, and oversubscribed.

UVA has produced more Rhodes Scholars (57) than any other public institution in America

Do UVA boosters have any other metric to go by? 57 out of thousands upon thousands of graduates isn’t that impressive.

The PP is the extremely tiresome UVA booster who always trots out this Rhodes business - as if it's in any way a metric that people use when choosing colleges. No.One.Cares.

The metric I use: one of the top schools in the nation, $40k a year, AWESOME!

DNGAF how many Rhodes / Nobels it has.

A top school, as you assert it is, would have produced a Nobel winner.

#24 in national universities
#5 in top public schools

Cope and seethe

So, UVA looks good on papers but [b]sucks in the field of play.
Now that's the definition of Overrated.

Hardly. Tell that to the Rhodes committee

Rhodes poster, you are making UVA look worse and worse with every idiotic post.

Can we shut up now? No other state school alum sucks their thumb as much and compensates for not being Berkeley as much as UVA alumni. UVA is a very good university. It's not Berkeley or Harvard, but it is at the top.

And your evidence for that is... lack of Nobels?

You're not a good advertisement for whatever college you went to.

And your evidence is having a few Rhodes Scholars at UVA.

Impressive!

Well, we all know that UVA has had ZERO Nobel Prize winning graduates in its long history.

Not impressive!

Harvard graduates have only won 77 Nobel prizes (to 0 for UVA). UVA could probably close that gap in just a couple of years. Likewise Harvard's 133 to 7 advantage in Pulitzer prizes should be easy to overcome.

But Harvard itself must still be overrated because we have it on good authority from the DCUM intelligentsia that Harvard sucks at STEM, therefore the Harvard-educated Nobel prize winners must only be for advances in fields like French Literature, not science.

Are you serious or just trying to rile up UVA people? UD is on the safety list for my kid, but I don’t really know anything about it at this point.

It is probably better for chemical engineering.
