Prestigious school for undergrad?

[trollnyc]

<p>^^ according to you, an employer would look at Wake Forest (Ranked 25) or UNC (Ranked 30) equally to Duke!? While these schools are all good ones, you would be hard pressed to find someone who would say that WF or UNC is more prestigious than Duke. Also, look at this thread
where HYP and not MIT/Stanford were the most recruited places. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1069688-if-you-want-top-job-go-hyps-wharton-not-mit-lower-ivy.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1069688-if-you-want-top-job-go-hyps-wharton-not-mit-lower-ivy.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Assuming you are at NYU, I can see why you would want to make it seem like the next 30 schools down the list are all the same and interchangeable since this is in your best interest. Why not just say the top 50 schools, then? Get my point? </p>

<p>

here is not a measurable statistically significant difference between the four. Don’t get carried away in arguing over which of the 4 best school is THE best. Some people will say Stanford, other Harvard, etc. Unless there is quantifiable mathematically significant, unbiased data to prove Stanford is better, then de facto, it’s not.

<p>The same could say for most of the elite schools as there isn’t a measurable difference in the quality of students of the top 10 schools…Again, no one is saying which school is best…</p>
