It's silly to claim Umich is definitely a better school. It's larger and colder for sure. The rest ...

This information is not correct for the same years. From Michigan CDS and UVA on SCHEV for 2022-2023

UVA 25/50/75 for SAT is 1400/1470/1520 with 53% reporting. For ACT it is 32/33/34 with 18% reporting. (Note to UVA, it should not take 6 months to fix an online Common Data Set!)

Michigan 25/50/75 for SAT is 1350/1470/1530 with 54% reporting. For ACT, it is 31/33/34 with 24% reporting.

Michigan is higher at 1 interval, UVA at 2 intervals, with 3 tied and with Michigan having slightly higher reporting percentage.

This is incorrect UVA sat average is 100 points higher. I'm a guidance counselor at a prominent VA high school.

Which once again demonstrates that high school guidance counselors were bad when I attended school 50 years ago and haven’t improved since.

So true. Even USNWR was smart enough to eliminate the high school guidance counselors rankings a few year ago.

Well ... the information is from us news.

If it's not correct, why are you guys harping on a few points gain for us news by umich?

SCHEV has the same stats. Last year's UVA incoming student had a 4.53 GPA at the 75th percentile (meaning 25% were above), a 34 ACT and/or a 1520 SAT. Median was 4.40, 1470, 33. Bottom 25th percentile was a 4.24/32/1400. https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp

That says more about how UVA, and some other schools historically, view TJ. The school's reputation isn't as sterling as DCUM makes it sound. People here get caught up with TJ due to its USNWR ranking too

USNWR is just a failed mag trying to stay alive with lists. They are kind of like the funny aunt sending you random top 10s on email and social media.

Isn't having broad appeal a positive thing? Schools like Michigan and Notre Dame (football) and Duke (basketball) have a ton of fans without a direct connection to the school but it makes the school even more appealing to a broader population of people. The elites still know Michigan is a great school and recruit there and that circle is not even close to just a "certain Detroitt suburbs" crowd. Michigan has highly ranked programs and grad schools in most departments.

My spouse is from Michigan but elected to go to what DCUM would call a USNWR T5 or whatever people are calling elite private schools these days. They are still a Michigan fan and wear "off-brand Michigan gear" on Saturdays.
