It's just real public perception and not an insider's opinion on schools. Honestly, until my son was a senior in HS applying to schools, I didn't know much of anything about University of Chicago, and I guarantee I am not in the minority. The other schools have the benefit of strong name recognition to begin with. Chicago just doesn't have it and I will add most students aren't particularly attracted to it as a school.

Right...one of the first things I learned about Chicago is that it's where fun goes to die. Is that the saying?

I think some of ya'll vastly, vastly overestimate how much people care about your precious Ivy League (/equivalent) degrees in much of the country.

Colorado School of Mimes & Howard University. Sure, I believe this.

Not sure why this is funny to you? I grew up in CO and CSOMines (not mimes) is a fantastic school. Engineers coming out of there are deeply in demand.

Conservative Republicans trust it, but no one else, really, so of course it wouldn't rank high.

This study thinks that Howard is in Washington State since it put it in the west region. Next.

Ok, now we know where you went. You are here while life passes you by. Ivy grads don't come here. They are too busy with their lives.

I think the study is silly, but the West region denotes what people in that region view as the most trusted schools, not in what region those schools are in.

I think you are being kind. I think the study is beyond stupid. Same goes to OP who posted it.

Still think that those polled thought Howard is located in Washington state. Really makes no sense otherwise.

Yes, it does make sense. Check out that map again -- you think THAT many people in the Midwest believe that Stanford and/or Duke is in the Midwest? Of course not.
