<p>This is an odd comment. I am not sure what you mean by this. Are you suggesting that UVa alumni/ae are less “jocky,” “handsome,” “perky” and “pretty” than Dartmouth, Princeton and Williams alums? If you’re trying to say that UVa alums are generally less represented on Wall Street than Ivy alums, we’ve already established that. Besides, we’re not comparing UVa to the Ivies but to Chicago. UVa alums are definitely more “jocky” and no less “socially smooth” than Chicago alums. Nor are they any less represented on Wall Street. </p>
<p>I have no affiliation/bias for or against UVa. If anything, I find that its relative lack of socio-economic diversity for a public university leaves something to be desired. But to dismiss UVa just because it’s a state school seems presumptuous. From a ROI point of view, it makes no sense to recommend Chicago over UVa to a Virginia resident who would have to pay twice as much, especially because the former has no distinct advantage over the latter when it comes to WS recruiting.</p>
