What you should be telling them is to apply to Georgia Tech. It only cost $5,000/year for a much better STEM degree.
Yes, yes, go to Georgia Tech. There, that should do it.
Ha! Ha! 😉
The reason to not go to GT is if there is any chance your child might change their major (which my engineering kid at UVA did). You don’t want to be a history major at GT

UVA is clearly overpriced compared to UNC and Georgia Tech, and it does not provide a better education in the natural sciences compared to UNC or engineering compared to Georgia Tech. Humanities and business is probably stronger at UVA.
Compared to Berkeley, UCLA, and Michigan, UVA is not stronger in any field and is clearly outclassed in natural sciences and engineering. The value for UVA costing 3k-6k more per year is based on the undergraduate student population.
Bravo! Thank you for the listing above!
Percentage of respondents on Niche indicating they got their money's worth out of the (undergraduate) program:
GT 89%
UM 85%
UVA 78%
UCLA 70%
Berkeley 68%

What us wrong with you? Didn’t get in EA this week? Or rival students at VT or UMD. You sound like children playing in the schoolyard.

That’s not true. UVA has a top ten English Department!
Amazing, it deserves that ranking then!
I think you might have missed the sarcasm.
I'm PP and to be fair, a school is more than STEM, the fact you don't get that says a lot about you. My point still stands though, UVA is overhyped like a lot of schools, what's your Alma Matr?

There is no doubt, for STEM fields go to GT over UVA even if you live IS.
