University of Maryland
Elon
Indiana University
Virginia Tech
University of Alabama</p>

<p>University of Maryland

<p>Don’t know about all of the schools. But College of Charleston is everyone in Virginia’s safety school. My kids friends who go there say it’s so easy…even in the honor’s program. Don’t know any kid denied admission. </p>

<p>From Virginia, Clemson has gotten harder to get in to as is Elon. Tech has an excellent Engineering program, and I think is a very good school. For even in State, one must have over a 3.6 and over 1200 SAT to even consider Virginia Tech.</p>

<p>interesting charleston a backup school…</p>

<p>clemson has good alumni i think…</p>

<p>Really, they’re all pretty comparable. Different strengths in different areas of course. For example, some people think that Indiana ranks ahead of Juilliard as the top performing arts school in the country.</p>

<p>^^true, IU’s music school is LEGIT.</p>

<p>what about for poli sci</p>

<p>Florida State has good alumni connections. They pretty much have a monopoly over Florida politics.</p>

<p>But Maryland and Clemson are better overall schools, possibly Elon, too. Virginia Tech is good if you want to be an engineer.</p>

<p>interestin… yea i heard that fsu is good because its in the capital and all.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s also a very good school if you want to be an architect or interior designer</p>

<p>VT also has some of the best programs in the country in areas of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation (Natural Resources). From what I can tell as a lifelong Virginia resident, they are really trying to broaden their appeal and are becoming much more than an engineering school- the sciences are really taking off. They now have (as of this summer) accreditation for the state of Virginia’s newest med school: The Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute. Pretty cool stuff going on out in Blacksburg!</p>

<p>Personally, I think Clemson and VT’s board of trustees have shown great vision and are putting their schools in position to offer their students tremendous educations- especially for state school price tags.</p>

<p>UMD
Indiana
FSU
Clemson
VA Tech
Elon
Charleston
'Bama</p>

<p>Elon, Maryland, and IU are the best schools. Elon is the best for undergraduate.</p>

<p>Overall:
UMD
Indiana
FSU
Clemson
VA Tech
Elon
Alabama
Charleston</p>

<p>For PoliSci, FSU and Maryland are the best choices.</p>

<p>Interresting rankings, it seems like everyone has different oppinions. I think I have narrowed it down between Cofc and Elon… any adivce</p>

<p>Go with Elon. Its future is bright. Remember Clemson has half the undergrad population of VT, FSU, IU, and Maryland so you might want to give them another look.</p>

<p>yea i visited clemson… i jsut thought it was a little to southern for a northern raised kid like me. Im not sure though… I am visiting a good friend down there when school starts again</p>

<p>rammer jammer, yellow hammer, give 'em hell Alabama!</p>

<p>Don’t forget about Bama. They are on the rise and give out good merit money.</p>

<p>Elon is just the new trendy school for kids from the East Coast. Yawn.</p>
