<p>Ok guys , what about ranking these schools as for prestige:
Boston University
Ithaca College
USC
UT Austin
Emerson College
University of Miami
Syracuse University
Upenn
University of Arizona
UW-madison</p>
<p>The major would be communication(tv/radio/film)</p>
<p>The University of Wisconsin has what is considered one the best communication programs in the country. A top 10 Undergraduate and graduate journalism program + one of the most cited Communication departments in the country in scholarly writing. Penn, USC, Northwestern, and Texas are all very strong as well.</p>
<p>To some it is prestigious. Many layman have not heard of Cornell and many super elitists find Cornell to be the "public" ivy.</p>
<p>Penn has a great Comm school so it makes sense. Maybe this person wants to apply to some "less prestigious" schools for scholarships? Further, I don't agree with your premise. USC, Texas, Wisconsin, and the comm programs @ BU/Cuse are much more prestigious than schools like Arizona or Miami. Further, if one is studying communications, Syracuse's Newhouse program is better than many ivys.</p>
