<p>Ohio</p>
<p>Overrated:
Caseâbasically itâs solid for anything bio or pre-med, and mediocre to worse for everything else. Even engineering and non biological sciences are middling at best and donât even think about social sciences or humanities. Located next to the Cleveland ghetto.</p>
<p>Miami of Ohioâa decent second tier public university if youâre a white, conservative business major, but itâs nowhere near the public ivy nirvana its supporters claim with Chairman Mao discipleâshaking their little red books at youâfervor. In the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>Underrated:
Kenyonâshould really be considered up there with the Williams and Swarthmores in my humble opinion.</p>
<p>Underrated: Tulane
Overrated: Michigan and University of Penn</p>
<p>^^^Overrated: People who like Tulane and canât follow simple thread instructionsâŠ</p>
<p>âFallenchemistâ has become a âRisingChemistââŠcongratulations, I guess.</p>
<p>Iâm in MAâŠso, Harvard would be overrated 
Underrated: Olin, Boston University</p>
<p>I used to live in CA

<p>I agree, in California, Santa Clara University is underrated</p>
<p>Maryland </p>
<p>Overrated: University of Maryland, College Park: People act like itâs Harvard</p>
<p>Underrated: St. Maryâs College of Maryland and UMBC</p>
<p>Overrated - Belmont
Underrated - Sewanee, Rhodes</p>
<p>Great thread. Iâve lived in 4 diff states</p>
<p>Illinois
Underrated: University of Illinois Chicago - the faculty is phenomenal (I agree that U of Chicago is as well but thats changing)</p>
<p>Overrated: DePaul - it has no business being on any national lists like Fordham it benefits from location and is a backup school for local wealthy brats.</p>
<p>UMaryland is overrated in Maryland (most top students donât go there instate or go elsewhere for out-of-state).</p>
<p>St.Maryâs college in Maryland is underrated.</p>
<p>Overrated: Penn, Pitt, Temple
Underrated: Lehigh, Bucknell, Muhlenberg</p>
<p>Over - Stanford
Under - Any of the Claremont colleges</p>
<p>Michigan:</p>
<p>Overrateed: U of M
Underrated: Michigan Tech</p>
<p>Re: Wayne State : not sure how it is perceived here because itâs never mentioned, but I went through the Chem Engg program 25 years ago on a free ride scholarship. Graduated near the top of my class but left there not knowing much of anything. I got a good job and did well (b/c I am a quick learner) but thought their engineering program was awful. Itâs very research oriented and you leave not knowing how to apply the theory to real life applications. JMHO.</p>
<p>Psychologically</p>
<p>Most Most overrated: The school that rejects me which I think I should certainly in.
Most overated:The school that rejects me which I apply it just for fun.
Most underrated: The school that accept me.
Most Most underated: The school that accept me, which my peers think sucks.</p>
<p>I am joking!</p>
<p>Overrated: NYU
Underrated: SUNY Geneseo</p>
<p>Ma</p>
<p>Overated: BC</p>
<p>Underated: Bentley</p>
<p>Iâm in NJ I actually wouldnât say anywhere is overrated.</p>
<p>Underrated: TCNJ and maybe even Rutgers at least it seems that way when instates talk about it.</p>
<p>For Virginia</p>
<p>Overrated: UVA (though I will probably go here)
Underrated: UVA engineering (right? Right?!) also George Mason in northern Virginia because of the proximity</p>
<p>For California</p>
<p>Overrated: San Diego State (aka Chico State south) I know many students who have passed on UC Santa Cruz and Riverside to attend SDSU which is too bad because the quality of education is subpar and much of the faculty tuned out 15-20 years ago.</p>
<p>Underrated: UC Riverside - it is a still a UC with some STELLAR faculty and great facilities. It is also still small enough where if you show initiative you can have some great relationships with faculty. The whole âUC Rejectsâ thing is a joke. I know many students who have gone on to Ph.D and professional programs.</p>
