Stop trying so hard. No school in a state once presided over by Rick Perry deserves to be taken seriously.

Fading into obscurity will do that for you. But Radcliffe was good.

Florida - limited OOS admissions ensure most of the students can barely read

Georgia Tech - small campus stuck in an unattractive city that Sherman should have finished off when he had the chance.

The athletic doormat of the Big Ten and so pre-professional that most of the undergrads already have mortgages.

True, but there are several categories of posters who are anti-UVA"
1) MD people, as you say
2) DC people who also don't have any good choices, but who would get the tag money for UVA but do not have the stats. to get in
3) UMD and VT people and students who troll for fun because UVA is their rival
4) NoVA parents who have paid taxes to Virginia for years but are frustrated after supporting the state for decades that their child doesn't have the stats to get in
5) NoVA students who didn't get in and are bitter
6) OOS students who applied but didn't have the stats to get in
and finally,
7) legacy parents who are upset that their child didn't get in

I haven't read the responses yet, but I have 4 kids who've gone to 3 different universities. The one I think is universally loved is Pitt! I don't have a single negative thing to say or think about it. My kids have all loved their college experiences, but Pitt is a wonder.

No problems with the schools, but according DCUM, starting with Manassas southward, its all Dixie


Many are prejudice about the South but these 2 seem to get a pass.

Of course NE or bust never will but universal is not everybody.

Largely ignored should not be confused with universally loved.


Scared to go South is not the same as ignored.

Semi-obscure school that is stuck in Texas and churns out future urologists.


NP, a "reach" put down. I thought that was a great answer.


If you wanted to live with a bunch of Enron executives after they got out of jail, Rice was definitely a solid choice.

What are you talking about?
