<p>wise is a branch of uva - much like a penn state satellite campus. however, its intent was to bring a public college to southwest virginia - which didn’t have one. Originally intended to be a 2 year college, it has developed into a 4 year school. I don’t think that there are any advantages of going to wise with regards of gaining admissions to uva. its not a community college, so students wont benefit from the new guarrenteed admit formula.</p>
<p>other than that its just a small public LAC with no firm relationship to uva in charlottesville other than name.</p>
