yeah, i'd say more haters. i live in nyc and there are plenty of folks I know, probably any parent I know, in this last admission cycle who would have been thrilled if their DC had ended up at UVA given the dearth of choices for many after ED1/2. One of DD's BFF's picked it over Harvard.
Sure, Jan.
LOL, I know what I know.
Jesus Christ.

God damn it. Why does every thread about prestige and selectivity devolve into this UVA penis-measuring bullcrap?

Because UVA boosters are so insecure, they have to insert themselves into everything thread.

For example, Smith and Vassar are regarded as being more prestigious than UVA, despite being less selective. At least that’s the case here in NY.
UVA has considerable swag in NYC. Certainly more than Smith at least. Get real.
No it doesn't. Not at all, unless you're talking about a minuscule sub-set of NY residents who hail from Virginia.
UVA is a top school buddy
And so are about 50 other schools in the country.
