Seeking to make a list of schools that are generally well-known, respected, or have strong “name recognition” but are not ultra-selective.
I’ve heard Penn State and Purdue are two. What are others? |

Yes, Oxymoron College. Prestigious, easy to get into, cheap. Also imaginary. |

someone started this thread a few days ago. Not prestigious... but respected or something like that. And responses were similarly mean.
In my opinion: Macalaster and Oberlin and Bryn Mawr. For state school Rutgers, UConn, and Delaware |

Of course we're mean. Because most universities are in that category, so it's not useful to add a extraneous label to the norm. |

Carleton is prestigious but not as crazy selective as ivies. 20% acceptance rate is reasonable.
Case Western is prestigious, acceptance rate around 35%. Rochester is similar. |

| The true acceptance rate at each of West Point and Annapolis is around 50%. |

UMD and VT are more prestigious than CWRU and have acceptance rates of 45 and 55% |

| You are going to get crucified here for the word prestigious. Let’s say “fantastic schools” and move forward. |
