<p>I’m dying to get my decision over…
UVa vs. Univ. of Michigan.
I know both are great schools, but it seems like UVa
has a bit more name value and reputation, as the 2nd best
public school.
But I cant ignore Ann Arbor’s great science department and
its great alumni network too.
Here are the things i value</p>
<li>GOOD GUIDANCE** in college through graduate. (basically
a school that sends me to good medical school*)</li>
<li>good name value/reputation</li>
<li>Some number of Korean students?
(I know U-M has a bunch of Koreans, but how about UVa? Are
there some* Koreans at UVa? I personally think 50 or 200 is the same,
both huge)</li>
</ol>

<p>UVa does NOT have more value and reputation than Michigan. Michigan is actually more prestigious with a higher peer assessment score. In my opinion, both universities are equal though, but as far as reputation goes, I think Michigan wins. </p>
<p>Sometimes Michigan is ranked as the #2 public school, and sometimes UVA.</p>
<p>Not sure about UVA, but Michigan is full of Asians (especially Koreans). Just pay a visit to Bubble Tea Island.</p>
<p>I'm facing the exact same dilemma. Well, between the schools at least. I'm planning on doing business so Ross and McIntire are both amazing options. Ulitimately I hope to come back to the midwest so Michigan wins there, but UVA's campus is amazing and the atmosphere seems like it would fit me better. I guess it's not a bad problem to have, though. Choosing between two great schools, that is.</p>
