<p>Ok, she said that the idea was prevalent. She wasn’t making the claim that it WAS on the same level. There is a difference, actually quite a large difference. </p>
<p>Oh, and FWIW- I asked that question TWICE before haha ever posted.</p>
<p>^^^I believe you’ve confused me with other posters who made claims that I did not. End of discussion.</p>
<p>My masculinity has gone down 20 points, if I’m the one you’re referring to when you said " she said the idea was prevalent." 
lol it’s cool though</p>
<p>^ sorry. It was wrong of me to assume. I apologize :(</p>
<p>^^ ok rj. Whatever you say. I didn’t confuse you but I’m glad that you’re open for discussion :).</p>
<p>Texas </p>
<p>Over:
TAMU- College Station IS</p>
<p>Under:
TAMU- Kingsville (Great engineering esp. natural gas and civil. Top in country for bilingual education grad school, business school and LA school is lacking but it is a top school for hispanics and hispanic related studies. Awesome for range and wildlife management. Good football team too.)</p>
<p>TAMU College Station OOS</p>
<p>UT and Rice are great schools. Tarleton sucks for personal reasons.</p>
<p>Illinois</p>
<p>Under-
Oh geez, so many. LFC, Knox, BRADLEY, Loyola University of Chicago.</p>
<p>Over-
You’re expecting me to say U of I, right? Nah, I have nothing against Chambana. Chicago. Also NIU is not unpopular instate, for reasons I don’t know. </p>
<p>Just right-
Northwestern</p>
<p>NEW YORK</p>
<p>underrated- Macaulay honors college, Vassar, Colgate
most kids in my school havent even heard of these -.-</p>
<p>overrated- Queens (regular), St Johns, NYU
everyone in my school wants to go to these schools for dumb reasons</p>
<p>Bayboi, it is hard to imagine any of these schools being better than Pomona</p>
<p>“Liberal Arts Focus
Private- Santa Clara, LMU, or Chapman”</p>
<p>Pomona is great and I’m sure it’s better than those programs. But, in my opinion people don’t go to California for LACs, it’s more of an east coast thing.</p>
<p>State: Virginia</p>
<p>Overrated- Va Tech, William and Mary and UVA
Under- Randolph College</p>
<p>New Jersey- </p>
<p>Overrated: Ramapo (for some reason many people act like this is an amazing public liberal arts college though from what friends say red tape will kill you), TCNJ (it’s a decent school for certain programs but has barely any reputation outside of the tri-state area)</p>
<p>Underrated: Stevens Institute of Technology (excellent for sciences; great co-op program; and Hoboken is a cool city) ; Rutgers - New Brunswick (both in and out of state)</p>
<p>I’ve noticed many people don’t talk about Occidental as well when dealing with underrated California colleges; it seems to be one of the top ones (at least 3rd from Pomona and CMC…)</p>
<p>then again; maybe I just like that school too much or people think it’s an accurately rated college.</p>
<p>New York</p>
<p>UNDER rated - Fordham ( suprisingly MOST of my friends havent heard of this school even though its a great school ) .</p>
<p>OVER rated - NYU , Stony Brook , Hunter , Pace .</p>
<p>OVERrated- University of Oklahoma</p>
<p>UNDERrated- Oklahoma State University</p>
<p>Florida: </p>
<p>Overrated: UF, UCF, FSU,UMiami
With exception of UMiami, All of these schools are not only in the middle of nowhere, but they are only famous due to their sports scene. I have visited all of the campuses and they are not great.</p>
<p>Underrated: Florida International University, Rollins College, USF
All great locations, all completely underrated…ESPECIALLY FIU! FIU, located in Miami, is not only a beautiful campus, but its education is phenomenal. Along with great education, its facilities are top notch and many of the classes are relatively small. Campus wise, their is a large pool, grill, AND a beach volleyball court located at every single dorm building…WHO wouldnt want THAT?!</p>
<p>^
I wouldn’t want to go to FIU. It is 70% hispanic with the academic quality and prestige of a community college. I would like attending a diverse school, but I don’t consider one ethnicity dominating the campus diverse. </p>
<p>I assure you, as a Floridian, FIU would probably be the last college I would attend , far behind UF, FSU, Miami, New College, USF, UCF, and possibly even UNF.</p>
<p>I would agree with you that Rollins is under-rated. Has a great campus and a fantastic undergraduate business program.</p>
<p>overrated: ucla, etc.
underrated: pomona, occidental, mudd, cmc…</p>
<p>OVERATED: NYU!!!</p>
<p>/thread</p>
<p>^ lol… what’s wrong with NYU. it may be a little (fine a lot) overrated by high schoolers, but its still a good school. I got in today but not going there.</p>
<p>^^^Even you admit it’s overrated. So what’s your point?</p>
<p>Overrated: Non HYP ivies.</p>
