UVA lay prestige on the West Coast
Basically the title. As someone who lives on the West Coast, and chose UVA over schools ranked similarly, the look I get when I tell people not involved in the legal profession I chose Virginia over the other schools is funny to me.
Some theories I have
- not located in a big city/ metro area
- not great at sports (really only applies to football)
- undergrad prestige (yes I know uva undergrad is highly rated but out here it isn’t seen that way, so maybe it’s the whole university in general?)
That’s really it tbh. For the record the other schools are Michigan, Duke, and Berkeley. Curious as to what others think.
Edit: this keeps getting downvoted, and I am assuming that is because people think I am taking this into consideration? I have already committed lol I was just wondering what others thought I think it’s an interesting topic
