Greater Name Recognition: Denison, Dickinson or F&M?

Btw...name recognition is better phrasing for most of these colleges than " more prestigious."

The answer is “they have none” whichever way you ask the question.

They are all about the same.

what exactly is your point?

That those colleges have zero name recognition, which is what the OP asked about.

I recognize all of them and so do a lot of other posters on here. I have law partners who went to two of them and a CEO friend who went to the other. When I mentioned my DC was interested in one of them I got a tone of "oh great, you should talk to so and so" responses.

Its acceptance rate is about 17% now.

My Denison alum DC is in grad school at HYP now.

I think a lot of Ohioans are moving away from the other Ohio LACs because they got "too liberal" for the red state (Kenyon, Oberlin). That's when Denison's numbers started climbing

They've been well known since the 1780s.

If you think this means they have name recognition you must be the janitor at the firm, you are far too stupid to be a lawyer.

Dickinson has been around since 1773!

This quote says everything about you and nothing about the schools or PP. We can immediately discount what you said because you are so unserious. Someone has a different opinion than you so they must be stupid? How provincial of you. I’ve heard of all three, though admittedly, I hadn’t heard of Denison until recently.

I’ve never heard of Denison.

Dickinson and f & m well known in northeast and mid Atlantic

It is not the different opinion which is stupid, but the claim that "someone I know has heard of these schools, and that means they have name recognition". A faulty generalization! What a great lawyer that PP must be. It doesn't even answer the question that the OP is really asking.

^ how would you determine whether a school has name recognition or not? Based on what you know? That’s even worse.

From a market research standpoint, you would need to define the sample population you care about and do a survey of a reasonable number of relevant people (hundreds at minimum).

Journalist rankings tend to survey academics because they are more likely to know of more schools vs. a general audience such as college-educated voters.

What you'd ideally want to see is a survey of h.r. executives. The only thing school prestige matters for in the real world is a hiring edge.

It would be expensive to do a survey like that within a region. It would be costlier than state level polling because of the specialized audience.

On a national level I think it's reasonable to assume that many institutions would have low levels of awareness and familiarity outside their region.

I’m struggling with your lack of critical thinking juxtaposed with your weirdly overconfident assertions. Why are YOU the arbitrator of name recognition? This isn’t complicated. OP asked about name recognition and will aggregate replies about whether posters have heard of the school. But I’d love to hear about your scientific process or your qualifications to assess this.
