So my English teacher keeps insisting that U.Va is just as good as Harvard and Yale whenever someone brings up a conversation about the Ivy League- is this actually true? I don’t know much about the Ivy League or U.Va to be honest but I’m getting ready to apply to colleges- U.Va is where my English teacher went so I’d like some possibly unbiased opinions. Is the Ivy League like the top? Are students at Yale overall smarter than U.Va?
Yale is a better school than UVA. The vast majority of students who get into both chose Yale over UVA.http://www.parchment.com/c/college/tools/college-cross-admit-comparison.php?compare=Yale+University&with=University+of+Virginia
My DD2017 was accepted at both. In actuality, it didn’t take Ivy day and Stanford acceptances for her to eliminate UVA from contention. Once my DD was accepted at Universities such as WashU, Georgetown, and Hopkins, there was zero chance of her attending UVA. In our experience, UVA was two tiers down from Yale.
