Condescension doesn't help your argument.

It's not condescension but a correction, of PP's misleading and borderline dishonest statement. Aggrieved over-reaction and deflection is a time-honored tactic of snowflakes and trolls.

Is it because of cost?

People tend to like cheaper colleges, even if they are throwing money on other things.

It's called 'Value'
In general,
if price is the same, then Georgetown.
if UVA instate and Georgetown full pay, then UVA

I don’t see any Harvard or Penn posters boost those schools nearly as much as UVA.

Go read BUM or PUM.

UVA’s med school is better.

According to US News UVA is ranks 20 places higher

This med school ranking is complete BS. Nebraska, Cincinnati, Iowa and Alabama are also ranked higher than Georgetown. Something is wrong with this ranking.

DH is a physician and many excellent physicians come out of Georgetown.

Blame the rankings!

Nice link from 2018. The current (2022) class of (41) Marshall Scholarships contains none from either UVA or Georgetown. (It does, however, contain graduates from WVU, Syracuse and Montana State -- by your logic, should we consider those schools to be better than UVA?)

UVA boosters have a really bad reputation on this site. Dishonest/misleading claims like yours explain why.

Georgetown is a very good place to go for undergrad

UVA's stats from a publication that came out today:

The "publication" is Virginia (UVA) Magazine. Did you really think it helped your argument to try to hide the source of this promotional material?

At any rate, Virginia Magazine apparently has more integrity than you. Here's a piece they wrote about UVA's drop in the rankings a couple of years ago:

Hah! UVA has produced twice the number of Rhodes Scholars and has a lot of grad students there now. It's the greatest producer of Rhodes after the Ivies and the top public producer in the nation. Same with most of the other international scholarships and fellowships

You don’t event understand why that is not a big deal given where UVA is.
