<p>Int'l is genuine. He has posted on the Michigan forum above and he is a proud UVA student. I would say given his writing style, he is Asian. And in Asia, sciences rule. That is why in his country, UVA is probably not as well known as Cal and Wisconsin. Even Minnesota is a powerhouse in the sciences. I mean, let us face it. Minnesota is top 25 in Engineering (top 3 in Chemical Engineering) and tp 25 in all the sciences. </p>
