Not to bash teenagers, but teenagers aren’t really the best-possible source for the information you’re seeking. I went straight from UVA to Manhattan and I can attest that Virginia is *very *highly regarded in the business world of New York. Part of that–true–is because of its highly-ranked business and law schools, but most of it is because people in the business world have interacted with highly-competent Virginia grads. Few people would put it on par with Princeton or Yale but you’d be surprised how closely it nips on their heels in the reputation department. Of course, part of *that *might be the self-selection of capable, ambitious grads who go to places like New York.

Hey did the OP even come back and say where s/he lives?
